Former United captain Roy Keane has labelled former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo ‘different class’ after his scintillating form this season.
Keane, now manager at Sunderland, has been taken aback by the 22-year-old’s sensational impact on United’s three-pronged assault for silverware.
Ex-skipper Keane told The Sunday Mirror: “I think Ronaldo is outstanding. If you had asked me two or three years ago I would have told you he could go on to be the best player in the world.
“I thought that would happen after he had been playing over a longer period of time, but his form this season has been a different class.”
“The skills Ronaldo has are frightening,” said Keane. “He is an entertainer and fans at United love that. It’s great to see and they are the type of players you would pay to watch.”
