Ryan Giggs admitted that he could not help but laugh when a young Cristiano Ronaldo gave former Manchester United defender John O'Shea a torrid time, when Manchester United played Sporting Lisbon in 2003.

Ronaldo had not yet become a household name all over the world but Giggs saw the potential at a very young age. 

“You see Ronaldo get the ball, and you see him turn John O'Shea inside out, and you're having a little giggle to yourself,” Giggs told ITV.

“He just lit up the game, all the lads were talking to him after the game and I remember we were waiting on the coach and everybody was wondering what we were waiting for."

Ronaldo will inevitably go down as one of the all-time greats, but is he the best ever?
