Ronaldo drops retirement hint

Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo has seemingly dropped a hint about retirement after netting a brace in the win over Poland.

The 39-year-old scored twice and registered an assist as Portugal thrashed Poland 5-1 in UEFA Nations League action on Friday evening.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner spoke to the media after the game and spoke about the need to enjoy football as he turns 40 next year,

"I just want to enjoy [myself]," Ronaldo said, as per ESPN.

"Plan for retirement? if it has to happen, in one or two years ... I don't know. I'm turning 40 soon.

"I really want to enjoy, as long as I feel motivated I keep going. The day I don't feel motivated, I will retire."

The Al Nassr star did reveal he has no desire to coach when he hangs up his boots.

"I don't see myself managing a team; that's not in my plans," he added.

"My future lies in other areas outside of football, although time will tell what happens."
