CRISTIANO RONALDO says whizkids Anderson and Nani will make an instant impact in the Premiership. And Ronaldo, 22, is convinced the young guns will justify their price tags by taking the champions up another level.

He said: “I can only say that United will be stronger because they have signed two great players. Anderson and Nani are phenomenons and the side will be improved a lot by their participation.”

Nani and Anderson have both agreed five-year United deals, which will earn each player £26,000 a week as they bid to follow Ronaldo to stardom. United boss Alex Ferguson will look to Portuguese wing king Ronaldo to be a mentor for the new boys, who, like Ron, are without their fathers.

Ronaldo was devastated when his dad passed away in 2005, while Anderson’s father died five years ago and Nani has not seen his for years.

Nani’s mother Maria do Ceu was left alone to raise him and his EIGHT brothers after her husband went home to the Cape Verde Islands on holiday 15 years ago and never returned.

And Ronaldo has already vowed to make sure Anderson and Nani feel right at home alongside him with their new United family. He added: “I’m really happy that I will have Nani and Anderson as team-mates. They will be very welcome at Manchester United.”

Brazilian midfield star Anderson was in Manchester and he wasted no time getting a private tour of Old Trafford and a feel of his new club after joining from Porto. United assistant-boss Carlos Queiroz, who personally negotiated the transfers, is convinced he has landed a brilliant new talent for Fergie to turn into a world-class performer like fellow Brazilian Ronaldinho.

The teen sensation, who was also a Samba prodigy at Ronaldinho’s old club Gremio in Brazil, is now awaiting a work permit after undergoing a medical.

Nani, who celebrates his goals with a trademark backflip, is already known in Portugal as the new Ronaldo after following his idol by making his mark at Sporting Lisbon. He is currently on Portugal duty and was given a standing ovation by team-mates while watching a television report about his move.

The winger has made a big splash for his old junior side Real Sport Clube, who will receive a £1.1m cut of Nani’s United fee.

President Jose Liborio said: “Nani was just a kid when he first came to us. But we’re grateful to him as we will use our share to build a swimming pool and a new gym.

“I remember him when he was tiny and I still have an image of him in my mind playing — even then he had magic in his feet.”

Nani has already won five caps for Portugal and scored for his country against Denmark.

Anderson has been named in the Brazil squad and will make his debut in the Copa America later this month.
