For the current generation of football supporters, the name Ronaldo means slicked back hair, powerful free-kicks and battles with Lionel Messi, but not so long ago there was only one Ron everyone loved, with bags of trickery, prowess and some dodgy haircuts of his own. Football has a strange way of coming full circle, and Real Madrid's visit to Old Trafford tonight provides a perfect point to reflect on the great Brazilian Ronaldo's fine hat-trick for the Spanish side in the same stadium ten years ago, a moment that even Cristiano Ronaldo may struggle to match. So who is the better of the two Ronaldos?

Sir Alex Ferguson has added fuel to the debate by claiming that Cristiano Ronaldo is superior to his older namesake, but let's face it, Fergie is likely to be biased, given his role in the development of the Portuguese and suffering at the hands - or rather feet - of the Brazilian. Instead, talkSPORT will leave it to you to make up your own mind, so we've put together a handy highlights playlist for both players, featuring shots from distance, chipped finishes, plenty of humiliated goalkeepers, and two special hat-tricks.
