Man Utd hero Cristiano Ronaldo reveals when he plans to retire and hits out at his critics

Cristiano Ronaldo believes he has ‘four or five more years’ in the sport and has hit out at his critics by insisting he is ‘very happy’ with his form for Manchester United.

Ronaldo told DAZN: ‘It’s hard to say that I don’t want more, because if I’m at a club that gives me the opportunity to win more things, why not?

‘I know I don’t have many years left playing, four or five more, we’ll see, and I want to win more things.

‘You have to be intelligent and know that at 18, 20 or 25 you are not the same as at 35 – maybe you lose some things to win others and have balance. [It’s] right to keep competing and be at the highest level.

‘That’s not easy [competing at the highest level at his age], but it seems like it to me, because I show year after year that the numbers speak for themselves.

‘I don’t have to tell you that I’m very good, because the numbers are there. The facts are facts, the rest doesn’t matter at all.

‘That’s why I’m very happy with my form, I’m still scoring goals, helping people, teams, both in the national team and at Manchester United and that’s why I want to continue like this.’
