Cristiano Ronaldo has set the record straight on retirement rumours swirling around his career.

The 39-year-old told former Manchester United teammate Rio Ferdinand that he plans on playing for at least another two years.

Speaking to Ferdinand on his new UR YouTube channel, Ronaldo said: "One thing that I've learned in the last few years is to enjoy the moment. Live the moment because you don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.

“I know I'm still looking good, I feel that I can still dribble, score goals, shoot, jump. The day that I start to feel that I can't produce anything I will pack my bags and go away."
