Man United star Cristiano Ronaldo declares intention to play at Euro 2024

The 37-year-old is preparing for yet another World Cup this winter, and it seems it won’t be his last international tournament, as some might have expected due to his age.

Ronaldo is showing no signs of slowing down, and has previously spoken publicly about wanting to play until he’s 40, so perhaps he’ll still have what it takes to influence a major international tournament even in two year’s time, when he’ll be 39.

Speaking at the Portuguese Football Federation’s Quinas de Ouro ceremony on Tuesday, as quoted by Goal, Ronaldo said: “It has been a long road, but I would like to take the opportunity to say that my road is not over yet.

“I feel motivated, my ambition is high. I am in the Selection with a lot of young players and I want to be part of this World Cup and the 2024 European as well, I assume now.”
