Former Sporting Lisbon coach Fernando Santos has expressed his regret at selecting Cristiano Ronaldo for the famous friendly with Manchester United in August 2003.
The precocious teenager's performance in the pre-season encounter convinced Sir Alex Ferguson to make his move to bring him to Manchester.
After selling another hot prospect in Ricardo Quaresma to Barcelona, Santos hoped to keep Ronaldo but the stunning display changed the course of history.
MUTV's cameras exclusively captured the game live at the new Alvalade XXI Stadium and you can relive Ronaldo's skills that night – playing in both of Sporting's kits – by watching the video above above.
