Ronaldo Earns Larsson Praise
Henrik Larsson has heaped praise on Cristiano Ronaldo, and has insisted that his former Manchester United teammate deserves his Player of the Year awards.
"I was pleased to see Cristiano Ronaldo pick up the Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards in the English Premiership," he told manutd.com.
"Since he is being talked about as the greatest player in the world it's not a surprise that he got those awards.
"He definitely deserves them. Having played together at Manchester United I have nothing but admiration for him.
"He has tremendous skill and also puts in a lot of hard work. He's a fantastic player and it's amazing to think that he will only get better."
The former Barcelona and Celtic striker also praised the rest of the side for their efforts over what has the makings of a very successful season, but admitted that the Portuguese was the cherry in the pie, so to speak.
"There are a number of players at United who could have won the award, because there is so much talent in the side, but Cristiano does stand out a bit," continued the Swede.
"He's a joy to play alongside and it will be interesting to see how he develops in the future."
