Ronaldo, who currently plays Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, said, “I don’t care about 1000 goals at all, wanting it is normal, but I don’t think about it. “I am planning my retirement and it will happen in a year or two. I have to enjoy the moment and football. “I have to go to training and to the game motivated, when I don’t feel that way I will take a step forward and say that it is no longer for me.
“I am going to be 40, I have to take it easy and enjoy it. And what I like most is playing for the national team.”
Ronaldo also had a message for the incoming Manchester United boss, adding: “I wish you the best of luck in the world, as well as Manchester United.”
