On Monday (5th), Portuguese soccer superstar C. Ronaldo celebrated his 39th birthday.

Manchester United posted a photo of C Ronaldo in the No. 7 United shirt on their official social media page, showing him with his back to the camera, with the simple but sincere caption, "Wishing C Ronaldo an unforgettable birthday." With CristianoRonaldo's full name below. Meanwhile, C Ronaldo also shared a photo of his muscular upper body on his personal social media platforms, highlighting the fact that even though he is over thirty-nine years old, he still maintains excellent physical condition.
C Ronaldo played two seasons at Manchester United, making 346 appearances, scoring 145 goals and 64 assists, winning three Premier League titles and one Champions League trophy. He became the team's top scorer in his first season with United in his second spell. However, due to conflicts with manager Tannhäuser and unfortunate events in his personal life, such as the untimely death of his son, he openly criticized United before the World Cup the previous year and chose to leave after the World Cup for the Saudi League.
