He said:

“I have to throw Cristiano [Ronaldo] in there. He had five or six years where he just terrorized defenses and won games on his own. An outstanding talent. You knew he was going to go on and be what he was because he just had that mentality of being, ‘I want to be the best.'”

Thornley added that Ronaldo used to tell everyone, “I am going to be the best.” He described the Portuguese forward as “unbelievable.”

Ronaldo played for Manchester United from 2003 to 2009, during which time he won three Premier League titles, one Champions League trophy, and one FA Cup. He scored 118 goals in 292 appearances for the club and was named the Premier League Player of the Season twice.

Last year, Ronaldo left Manchester United for Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr after an explosive interview with journalist Piers Morgan. However, he has continued to be regarded as one of the greatest players in the club’s history.
