The Manchester United Hype Machine

Saw an article today about Cristiano Ronaldo's free-kick goal yesterday against Portsmouth. For the tl;dr crew, he says that it was his "best-ever goal". It went on with Alex Ferguson quotes gushing about how great Cristiano Ronaldo is.

Am I missing something? Every team has a set piece specialist who can score goals like that. Hameur Bouazza had one earlier this year (video below). Freddy Eastwood knocked Man Utd out of the Carling Cup last season with a free-kick almost identical to Ronaldo's goal.

Or perhaps it is just a case of Manchester United shirt = better than.
