Born in Portugal and named after President Reagan, Cristiano Ronaldo started showing glimpses of his talent at just three years of age. Thirteen years later, Manchester United paid a transfer fee of 22.2 million Euros to bring him to the worlds most famous club. His career with the Red Devils was rocky, however, with the star having to win back the respect of the fans after some on-field incidents. He became the most expensive player in the history of the game when Real Madrid bought his services for a rumoured 13 million Euros per year.
