The ex-England international believes his former Manchester United team-mate could fire his country to glory in Russia
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand believes that Portugal’s chances of winning the World Cup are limited - but refuses to write off the Euro 2016 winners due to the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo.
After winning a fifth Champions League trophy, Ronaldo has set his sights on leading Portugal to more silverware in what will be his fourth World Cup.
Ferdinand, who played with Ronaldo for six seasons at Old Trafford before the Portuguese moved to Real Madrid, insists that the 33-year-old remains talismanic for his country and has surpassed the likes of Eusebio and Luis Figo in the legend stakes.
