Which coach gave Ronaldo one-to-one training during his 2006-07 breakout season?

René Meulensteen gave Cristiano Ronaldo one-to-one training during his 2006–07 breakout season at Manchester United.

Meulensteen was a Manchester United first-team coach whose individual work helped refine Ronaldo’s attacking game. Rather than concentrating only on spectacular dribbling or long-range finishing, the sessions addressed movement, decision-making, teamwork and how to exploit scoring chances more efficiently.

Ronaldo’s 2006–07 campaign marked a major step forward. He became more productive and influential after returning from the 2006 World Cup, while Manchester United won the Premier League and reached the FA Cup final. Meulensteen’s coaching formed part of a wider development process that also involved Sir Alex Ferguson and the club’s other coaches.

The other options are associated with Manchester United, which makes the question easy to muddle. Steve McClaren and Mike Phelan held senior coaching roles at different points, while Carlos Queiroz was Ferguson’s assistant coach. But the coach specifically linked with Ronaldo’s one-to-one technical work was Meulensteen.
