Former Manchester United defender Paul Scholes recalled the first matches involving Cristiano Ronaldo.
— I never thought he could score 700 goals. If you look at what he did at Real Madrid, he is a phenomenal player.
I remember how in August 2003 we played in the pre-season with Sporting. I thought then that this guy is special. He was different, much like Holland is now. I could not assume that he would continue to do what he showed then on the field. But what he achieved afterwards is incredible. He has become an unearthly striker, Paul Scholes said.
We will remind that in the match of the 9th round of the Premier League against Everton, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 700 goals at the club level.
