Alex Ferguson tends to shun players with inflated egos. Just ask David Beckham.
But the veteran Manchester United manager can't stop lauding the sublime skills of the player who inherited Beckham's No. 7 shirt - Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese winger scored two more goals on Tuesday night to seal a 2-0 victory over Bolton and put United three points clear of Arsenal atop the Premier League.
After breaking the deadlock 10 minutes earlier, Ronaldo scored from a dipping free kick - his 33rd goal in all competitions to eclipse George Best's season-leading tally for a United winger in 1967/8.
"He's phenomenal," Ferguson said. "It speaks everything for the player. I don't think there is a winger in this world that can do that and that's the measure of the quality of the lad and his scoring ability."
