Gary Neville believes Cristiano Ronaldo will follow in Tom Brady’s footsteps by playing at the top level into his 40s.
Having turned 37 earlier this year, the Manchester United superstar is showing no signs that he plans on slowing down. Ronaldo himself has spoken about how he still plans on playing for another four or five years.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has faced questions over his place in the United side this season, however, with critics highlighting his supposed inability to adapt to a modern pressing style. Ronaldo, though, sent a timely reminder of his qualities with a brilliant hat-trick in the 3-2 victory over Tottenham on Saturday.
