Pele: Loyalty makes Kaka better than Man Utd's Ronaldo

Pele says Kaka is a better player than Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo because of his loyalty to AC Milan.

Like former Sporting Lisbon winger Ronaldo, Kaka has moved once in his career, from Sao Paulo to Milan, but Pele insists: "Cristiano Ronaldo is an extraordinary player, who reminds me of George Best. And I like the other boy at Manchester too, Rooney. But I prefer Kaka.

"For years now, Madrid have tried to sign him but he wanted to remain faithful to Milan and I like that. Why would you leave a team that treats you so well and where you can win so many honours?

"There aren't many these days like Kaka and myself. I really dislike seeing players constantly changing clubs and always kissing their new shirts.

"With things like this, children don't know whether to support a team or a player and we have to remember one thing: without children's love, football will die."
