'Ronaldo not retiring anytime soon'

Al Nassr and Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo is not retiring anytime soon, according to his former Manchester United teammate.

At 39, Ronaldo remains a key figure for both club and country, despite the criticism aimed in his direction whenever plays for Portugal at a major tournament.

Former Red Devils full-back Wes Brown stated the five-time Ballon d'Or winner will retire when he wants to.

"He has talked about it. The way that the guy looks after himself is unbelievable. To keep yourself that fit at his age is an achievement in itself." Brown told Goal.

"He'll continue doing that, it's his normal routine, and it's one of them where Ronaldo can finish when he wants to finish. I'm sure that's how it'll be. 

"If he's enjoying it, I'm sure he'll continue. There will come a point where he hangs them up. I don't think it's any time soon, even though he is getting on now."

The former Red Devils defender also spoke about Ronaldo potentially going for 1000 career goals.

"He's talked about that for a while now," he added.

"To get that history, to get that far – 1,000 goals – is an achievement that I don't think will be broken if that were the case."
