Cristiano Ronaldo hopes to play for another 'FOUR or FIVE YEARS' as 36-year-old Man United star puts his prolonged success down to 'sacrifice'

Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a warning to opposition defences by declaring he can still see himself playing professionally for another four-to-five years.

The 36-year-old, who turns 37 on February 5, has scored 19 goals in 26 appearances for Manchester United and Portugal so far this season - underlining he hasn't lost the knack of finding the back of the net.

On Monday night at FIFA's The Best award ceremony, Ronaldo was presented with the Special Award for his goalscoring feats with Portugal where he broke the international record with an incredible 115 goals so far.
