Manchester United forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, is set to disappoint the club’s manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, by refusing to retire from international football.
Ronaldo has made 183 appearances for Portugal, scoring 115 times in the process.
But the five-time Ballon d’ Or winner is showing no signs of slowing down, despite turning 36 in February this year.
Man United re-signed Ronaldo during the summer transfer window from Juventus and the former Real Madrid star hasn’t disappointed so far, scoring nine goals in 13 appearances for the Red Devils so far.
According to the Daily Star, Ronaldo is now primed to disappoint Solskjaer by refusing to call it quits as he wants to become the first player to earn 200 international caps, with Portugal in pole position to reach the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The report added that Man United are resigned to Ronaldo playing with Portugal after next year’s World Cup in Qatar.
However, despite his exploits, Ronaldo is yet to win the World Cup.
