Manchester United forward Anthony Martial has said that Brazil legends Ronaldo and Ronaldinho were two of his inspirations.
Martial, 20, explained other major role model was his brother Johan, a former France under-20 international who now plays for Troyes.
But the France international, who signed for United from Monaco for a fee that could rise to £57.6 million, said he was an admirer of two of Brazil's 2002 World Cup winners.
Striker Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or twice and played for Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Inter Milan while attacking midfielder Ronaldinho was a transfer target for United in 2003 before his move to the Camp Nou.
"My brother was the one who really gave me the desire to follow in his footsteps," he told MUTV.
"Also, it was really Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, the two Brazilian players, who also inspired me to a future in football.
