Ahead of Manchester United and Arsenal’s opening leg semi-final fixture in the Champions League, Theo Walcott has admitted that he wants to have the same impact for the Gunners as Cristiano Ronaldo has for the Red Devils.
The two wide men go head to head at Old Trafford and the England international had nothing but praise for Ronaldo.
“Ronaldo is the best player in world for me,” he explained in The Sun.
“He only needs to walk onto the pitch to have defenders scared straight away. That’s the message I want to send out.
“I want left-backs to see my name on the team-sheet and be afraid of me even before we’ve kicked off. I’ve got to work hard to get to that level.”
