Cristiano Ronaldo started as a right-winger in Sporting CP where his athleticism and strength soon earned him a spotlight among the top clubs in Europe. He scored 5 goals in the 31 appearances he made for the club. This was during the 2002-03 season and Sporting CP won three domestic titles that season. He also managed six assists in his only season at the club under manager Laszlo Boloni. The Portuguese club only gave Ronaldo the football exposure he needed as he only managed to become a household name after his first sting with Manchester United. Under Sir Alex Ferguson, who had roped in Cristiano Ronaldo for a reported £12.24 million fee, the forward evolved into a goal-scoring machine. During his time at Manchester United, he became a regular in the Premier League and the Champions League. 
 

He scored 20 goals and managed 23 assists as Manchester United lifted the English Premier League during the 2006-07 season making it his first double. He would follow that up with an incredible 42 goals feat in the coming season when the Red Devils won a double bagging both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League in the 2007-08 season. He then left Manchester United for Spanish capital giants Real Madrid in the year 2009 having won 3 Premier League titles, 1 UCL title, and 1 FA Cup. While still at United, he also won his first Ballon D’Or in 2008, the UEFA Club Forward of the Year in the same year, and also became FA’s Footballer of the Year in 2007 and 2008. Ronaldo then moved to Real Madrid in a then world record figure of £80 million. The Portuguese star then went ahead to score a whopping 33 goals in the first season with the Los Blancos making his move worth every penny. 

Ronaldo went ahead to become Real Madrid's all-time highest goal scorer in his 438 appearances as he scored 450 goals with 132 assists. He won an unparalleled 4 UEFA Champions League titles with Real Madrid, 2 LaLiga titles, 2 Club World Cups, 3 European Super Cups, 2 Copa del Rey, and 2 Supercopa titles. While at Madrid he worked under iconic managers like; Manuel Pellegrini, Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Rafael Benitez, and Zinedine Zidane who managed to make optimum use of his stardom. During his stint with Real Madrid, he won 4 Ballon D'Ors and also became the FIFA Men’s Player of the Year twice. Ronaldo then left Real Madrid a legend in 2018 for Italian powerhouse, Juventus. 

The Serie A giants signed him with the sole aim of winning the evasive UEFA Champions League title. Although the superstar failed to win the much-needed UCL title, he helped the club win two Serie A titles, 1 Italian Cup, and 1 Supercoppa Italiana. Juventus was his shortest club stint where he scored 101 goals in 134 appearances. He then went ahead to return to his old club Manchester United in the year 2021.  United paid a reported €25million to have the forward back in their squad with city rivals Manchester United also in pursuit and it had to take the intervention of Sir Alex Ferguson to make him accept the United offer at the expense of that of City. He scored a brace in his first EPL game back in a 2-1 win against Newcastle. He has, however, had a disappointing season at Manchester United as they failed to qualify for neither the Champions League nor the Europa League. He now wants out of United and his fanatics have been left asking themselves where next? It is rumored that Chelsea are in his pursuit.
