Ronaldo has already shown Manchester United fans what to expect this weekend
The start of the 2003/04 season was the occasion for a change of era for Manchester United. David Beckham was gone this summer and while a teenage winger with the same penchant for chic haircuts arrived, no one really knew what to expect.
By the time the final whistle sounded on the opening day of the season at Old Trafford, no one was talking about Beckham. Cristiano Ronaldo started off the bench against Bolton Wanderers and only came on for the final half hour, but meanwhile United scored three goals and the 18-year-old winger had stolen the show, a direct run blur , jumps and turns and hits.
On Saturday, 6,602 days after entering the pitch for United, Ronaldo will be back. The lightly built, dazzling but unpredictable winger has grown into a 36-year-old with the world’s safest finishing touches and a physique that a steel statue couldn’t do justice to. The player has changed, but on Saturday August 16, 2003 Ronaldo introduced himself to United fans as a player who wrote his own scripts.
