Ryan Giggs On Who Is Better - Cristiano ...

Rio Ferdinand Presents
About this episode

Ahead of the exclusive interview with Ryan Giggs being released - Rio wanted to release a special bit of content from his chat with the Manchester United legend.

Following several heated debates with several podcast regulars on the topic of who is better between Eric Cantona and Cristiano Ronaldo - Rio wanted to hear from the man who played with them both.

Before he gives his definitive opinion, Giggs also discusses why he admires Ronaldo so much, the first impression the Portuguese winger made and how the treatment dished out by Paul Scholes and himself helped Ronaldo acclimatise to life at Manchester United.
