In the University of Navarra’s yearly report on global popularity in football, Ronaldo retained his crown as the most talked about player in the World. In the top 10 players, our lads feature three times, with Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez also featuring.
Tevez was the biggest mover in the top 10, going from his position at 38th last season with West Ham, to 8th this season with United. Thanks to his Argentinian roots, as well as his successful stints at Boca Juniors, as well as Brazilian side Corinthians, his name is well known in South America.
