The Manchester United forward has enjoyed plenty of praise since his move to Old Trafford from Wolves last summer, but few accolades will compare to the public backing of O Fenomeno. Following Brazil’s commanding 3-0 victory over Scotland on Wednesday, Ronaldo took to social media to draw a direct comparison between his own legendary exploits and Cunha’s current form.
The iconic former Selecao striker posted a side-by-side image: one of himself celebrating during the 2002 World Cup final against Germany, and another of Cunha wheeling away after his strike against the Scots. Ronaldo added a caption that immediately went viral, writing: “The last time a nine celebrated like this, you know what happened.”
