Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly one of the greatest ever to grace the game, given his incredible scoring record, alongside the numerous personal accolades he has collected. Making his debut as a then 17-year-old for Sporting Lisbon back in August 2002, the forward has since gone onto become a global name within the sport.
Winning league titles in three separate countries thus far - England, Spain and Italy - the United forward has also tasted success on the international stage, winning EURO 2016 with native country Portugal. But with his imminent future in the north west under question, many wonder if the former Real Madrid man is poised to remain at Old Trafford.
Now aged 37, it is clear to see the Reds' forward is showing no signs of slowing down just yet, with a string of stand out performances in both the Premier League and Champions League so far this season. But with the 2022 World Cup perhaps a last chance on the world stage for Ronaldo, it remains to seen just whether he sees his future here in England.
