Despite his obvious goalscoring brilliance, Ronaldo wasn't the best goalscorer at United during that time according to club legend Rio Ferdinand.
Ferdinand said in a recent interview with ManUtd.com:
“Ruud (van Nistelrooy) was probably the best finisher for me. I think all the other strikers (he’s played with) would agree with that, as well.

Ole (Gunnar Solskjaer) is up there, he was a thinking finisher. His finishes were always calm and he was great at instinctive things but I have to go with Ruud.
He was clinical and the most ruthless finisher I’ve played with.”
