Aside from that one season…what was legendary about his time with us? One amazing season doesn’t make a legend.
A legend is more than stats…there must be a mixture of achievement, commitment, relationship with the fans, representation of the fans passion on the pitch and most basically, loyalty.
Ronaldo ticks only the achievement box imo.
In more recent times Robson, Keane, Cantona are really the only true legends to me.
Giggs, Scholes , Beckham, Neville, Schmeichel, etc are all closer to legendary status than Ronaldo.
He is not even on par with Evra or Vidic or Carrick to be fair.
