PL stars FAILED to name this legend from childhood photo... can YOU recognize?

A photo of a Premier League legend has left modern stars stumped.

Players from across the division were asked to identify the icon from the following photo.

But stars including Manchester City's Ruben Dias, Southampton's Aaron Ramsdale, and Chelsea's Marc Cucurella had no clue who it was.

One of the current players who took part in the task even knows the legend personally but was unable to discern who it is.

So, can you fare any better?

The picture is of a young boy in an all-blue outfit wearing tiny sandals, appearing to be in some sort of garden or greenhouse.

Struggling?

If you need a clue, he used to play for Manchester United and is still playing somewhere in the world.

He won three Premier League titles and even the Champions League, so that should narrow it right down.

Still no idea?

The answer is... Cristiano Ronaldo!

That's right, it turns out that Ronaldo was, once, a curly-haired child and not a 6'2" superhuman athlete.

Don't worry if that has left you shocked - the likes of Newcastle's Jacob Murphy, Bournemouth's Justin Kluivert, and Aston Villa's Lucas Digne weren't able to work it out either.

Incorrect guesses such as Rio Ferdinand, Jude Bellingham, and Kalvin Phillips were put forward before somebody stumbled across the right answer.

Everton's Dwight McNeil managed to surmise that it was Ronaldo, much to the surprise of his peers.

'You're joking,' said Dias, who plays with Ronaldo for Portugal.

'What!' said Murphy.

'That's an amazing picture,' said Kluivert. 'That's a little legend already there.'
