The former Manchester United manager says that the Portuguese deserves to win a fourth Ballon d'Or after a "wonderful year"
Cristiano Ronaldo is the standout candidate to win the Ballon d'Or, according to Alex Ferguson.
The Real Madrid and Portugal star is the heavy favorite to be crowned the world's best player in 2016, having been named in the 30-man shortlist for the award along with the likes of Antoine Griezmann and five-time winner Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo has claimed the award on three previous occasions, including once under Ferguson in 2008 during his time at Manchester United.
