Ronaldo backed to reach 1000 goals

Al Nassr and Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo has been backed to reach the 1000-goal mark before he retires.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner currently boast a superb record of 917 career goals for both his domestic career and Portugal, where he has netted 135 goals.

Ronaldo turns 40-years-old in February and is currently in the final six months of his contract with Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr.

However, former United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak feels the 1000 mark is possible for his former teammate.

"It's all possible. It's a lot of goals to score. It's nice to still put some targets on yourself. With him, I know him, if that target is hit then he will set another target,"  Kuszczak told Goal.

"We can call him one of the best players in the world - the Champions Leagues, the national team cups and goals. It's possible, why not? He looks fit. 

"He is 39 now. It's possible. The league he plays in makes it possible. It's a difficult one because he if he plays for another three years, he is going to need a lot of goals per season."
