Manchester United great Roy Keane was full of praise for Cristiano Ronaldo after victory at Tottenham.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner scored one and assisted one in United's 0-3 victory in the capital against Nuno Espirito Santo's side.
Speaking on Sky Sports after the game, Keane had plenty of praise for the attacker.
He said: “United had to sign him. I think Ronaldo is a brilliant player, really sharp and you'll get one or two years from him and that's why he's in the team. He's one of the best players that have ever walked on a football pitch and you're seeing it. You'll just have to get used to it.
“Obviously they have (Edinson) Cavani next to him to share the load, but Ronaldo was never going to be closing people down, that was never his strength. They say the modern teams need to have eleven players sprinting, well you don't.
“You can have one or two geniuses on your team and go, 'listen, you do the business.' Look at that [Ronaldo first goal], that's not even half a chance and a major goal. Ronaldo is a genius. If you have him at your club, it can only be a plus."
