Man Utd legend Giggs: Ronaldo best I've played with

Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs says Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player he played with.

The Wales international played with countless extraordinary talents during his 24-year stint at Old Trafford, but names the current Juventus star as the most impressive.

"He is no longer the player that he was when he was at 19, 20 but he has adapted his game," Giggs said during the Champions League Trophy Tour.

"He went from a winger, who used to beat people, make goals, score goals to now really just an out-and-out goal scorer, and he scores every type of goal, headers, goals in the six-yard box free-kicks and every type of goal.

"He is also the best professional I have played with. The way he looked after himself, not only in training but also away from the pitch. The way that he eats, the way that he conducts himself. So, I'm not surprised that he is still playing and still at the top of his game."
