Manchester United number two Carlos Queiroz insists Cristiano
Ronaldo is better than Kaka and will become the world's greatest
sportsman.
Portugal winger Ronaldo, 22, last week finished third behind winner
Kaka at FIFA's world player of the year awards.
But Queiroz said in the Sunday Mirror: "During my career, I have
worked with some of the world's finest players like Zinedine
Zidane, Ronaldo of Brazil, Raul, Luis Figo and Roberto
Carlos.
"Yet, I can honestly say, I have never seen such a football
creation like Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Kaka has been named European Footballer of the Year and World
Player of the Year, but in my opinion Ronaldo is better.
"The only thing that Kaka has that Cristiano doesn't is a Champions
League title."
Queiroz believes Ronaldo, last season's Footballer of the Year in
England, will soon bear comparison the all-time sporting
greats.
He said: "Cristiano will not only become the biggest sporting
attraction in England, but also in Europe and the rest of the
world.
"He will be a world star in football like Michael Jordan was in
basketball.
"That is because both of these sporting greats share the same skill
level in their different fields.
"They have both been blessed with a genius that has never been seen
before."
