Cristiano Ronaldo named Premier League's greatest forward by Sky Sports supercomputer

The Portuguese won three league titles with Manchester United.

Sky Sports Supercomputer has named Cristiano Ronaldo as the greatest Premier League forward after the Portuguese enjoyed his best three seasons at Manchester United from 2006 until 2009.

Ronaldo comes first on the list. Second is Thierry Henry. After him is Alan Shearer then Mohamed Salah and fifth is another United player, Wayne Rooney.

Ronaldo who played six seasons at United won three Premier League, a Champions League and a Ballon d’Or. It’s where the current 39-year-old established himself as the greatest player of all time before making a big-money move to Real Madrid.

He became one of the renowned stars at the club but he found his prime in the 2006 season, from there he exploded onto the scene and created havoc for the opposition defence in every game. He led the Red Devils to three titles in a row and also scored in the Champions League final and won Ballon d’Or.

His performance for the Premier League club didn’t go unnoticed in his young age. This has resulted in him being named as the greatest Premier League forward by Sky Sports’ supercomputer.

At a very young age Ronaldo already made an impression at United and his performance every week captivated fans in the league.

Currently, the Portuguese forward is enjoying his twilight years in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Nassr. But he still continues to surprise the fans with his goalscoring qualities. The former Madrid star is currently in the last six months of his contract and hopes to extend it for another year. This might also allow him to prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

However, his current objective will be to lead the Saudi side to silverware this season as since his arrival Ronaldo has failed to win any major trophy with the Middle Eastern club. This season as well they have had a string of poor performances that has seen them remain third in the table.
