Brighton boss Graham Potter has no doubts about the enduring quality of Cristiano Ronaldo and is relishing the challenge of a first meeting with 'one of the best players of all time'.
Potter will reach 100 games in Premier League management on Tuesday evening when in-form Albion take on Manchester United at Old Trafford.
United star Ronaldo has come in for criticism in recent weeks, having failed to score in six successive games in all competitions - his longest barren run in 12 years.
Potter has never previously faced the prolific 37-year-old Portugal forward and feels the football world sometimes focuses too much on individuals.
