Ronaldo also won countless trophies for United, Real Madrid and Juventus.

The best ever XI of his team-mates, according to Goal Arabia, is made up of players from those sides, with no one from his current team of Al-Nassr nor his first team of Sporting Lisbon making the cut.

Instead there are three players from the Red Devils – but the trio all only featured in his first spell at Old Trafford between 2003 to 2009.

Wayne Rooney, Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand all made it into the team.

Along with Ronaldo, those three were among the most important stars in Sir Alex Ferguson’s dominant late noughties side who won three Premier League titles in a row and the 2008 Champions League.

Ronaldo left for Real Madrid in 2009 and the bulk of the selection comes from his nine years at the Bernabeu.

Club legends Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Luka Modric, Marcelo and Karim Benzema are in with Toni Kroos and Gareth Bale.

The Portuguese international won four Champions Leagues and two league titles while in Spain.

He then left for Juventus and played alongside the final player who makes it into Goal’s line-up.

The star in question is Juve legend Giorgio Chiellini, who played for the club for 18 years including four alongside Ronaldo.

The forward won two Serie A titles before heading back to Old Trafford for his ill-fated second spell.
