Ferdinand, who played for the Red Devils from 2002 to 2014 and is currently retired after having completed a successful career in English football, named one of the top players of his time as a footballer as the best player he has ever seen and a real candidate to shine in every football award.
The player in question is the former Real Madrid and FC Barcelona player Ronaldo Nazario, who won the Ballon d’Or twice in 1997 and 2002 and is undoubtedly considered one of the best strikers of all time. Ferdinand saw him closely in Old Trafford in 2002, in a Champions League game facing Real Madrid against Manchester United in the Mancunian stadium, and was quickly impressed by the Brazilian’s skills on the pitch.
