Also Walter Smith, during his brief spell as Manchester United’s assistant manager in 2004, is credited with transforming Cristiano Ronaldo from a "selfish" winger into an elite goalscorer by stopping fouls in training. Smith's tactic forced a young Ronaldo to release the ball faster to avoid being kicked by teammates.

His impact at Manchester United often goes underappreciated. I'm glad you brought that up. He was highly-regarded at Old Trafford.
