Why Mbappe, Vinicius will never be like Cristiano Ronaldo – Rio Ferdinand

Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has suggested why Real Madrid duo, Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe will never be like Al-Nassr captain, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ferdinand was teammate with Ronaldo during the Portuguese’s first spell at Manchester United before he departed from Old Trafford to join Real Madrid in 2009.

Ronaldo enjoyed a successful stint at both Man United and Real Madrid, winning five Ballon d’Or awards.

Speaking as a guest on The Mo Show, Ferdinand spoke about what set Ronaldo apart from Vinicius and Mbappe in today’s game.

The Englishman highlighted how Ronaldo managed to have two different Ballon d’Or-winning careers in one and playing in two different positions, something he believes Vinicius and Mbappe cannot do.

“Cristiano was Cristiano. He was from another planet, like, never seen anything like it and don’t think we ever will. I don’t know if there is any player that I know that is ever had two world-class careers in one. So when he was at United, he was an entertainer and then he became a goalscorer as well at Man United. He was world-class there, a Ballon d’Or winner and a winger,” Ferdinand said.

“Then he went to Real Madrid and became a number nine and was world-class and was winning matches all on his own. That is two careers in one, and both of them have been world-class and he won Ballon d’Ors in different ways.

“Vinicius is not doing it, he is not going to be a left winger and then a number nine, it is not going to happen. Mbappe has not done it. When you think about it like that, it’s crazy.”
