Ronaldo hopes to keep going for another four or five years

Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo is 37 years old, yet the Manchester United forward hopes to continue playing football for another four or five years.

The Portuguese international has come in for a lot of criticism this season, despite scoring 15 goals in 29 games for United in all competitions.

"I know there are not many years to go before I stop playing, hopefully, four or five more, but I hope to keep winning things," Cristiano Ronaldo said during an interview with DAZN.

"My life has been a very beautiful journey. I have left my mark everywhere I've been. I don't think there's any player in history who can reach, well, the numbers he can reach, but to have that pride of saying 'wherever I've been, I've left my mark'. And that makes me happy.

"You have to be intelligent and say that when you are eight [years old], 20 or 25, it's not the same as being 35. That's maturity, experience, the intelligence to understand that maybe you lose some things, but you pick up other things and have the right balance to be able to continue competing and be at the highest level."
