Ronaldo thinks he has ‘three or four years’ left at highest level
The 37-year-old believes that he has ‘three or four years’ left at the highest level, and is keen to spend the next few years at a club where he has the chance to add to his team and individual achievements. Ronaldo no longer see his future being at Old Trafford given the current state of the Red Devils.
According to close friends, Ronaldo’s respect and affection for the Premier League clubs remains as strong as ever. However, as well as wanting to move on for sporting reasons, United’s No 7 is thought to be keen on a transfer after a difficult period for his young family.
