Manchester United star Ronaldo has heralded the
past season as "spectacular" but warned his opponents he can still
be even better.
The winger scored 42 goals in all competitions for United
in a stunning campaign which yielded the Premier League crown and
the Champions League title, and he has taken George Best's mantle
as the most prolific midfielder in the club's history.
"Every season at Manchester United I have improved," said
Ronaldo.
"The season was spectacular and I scored many goals on the way
to winning two important titles for the club.
"Next year I'm going to try and play even better and have an
even better season than this one.
"I played a spectacular championship, a good Champions League
and I am very happy with everything. It was my first European title
and I want to win it many more times because the feeling is
amazing."
Speculation that the 23-year-old is poised to join Spanish
giants Real Madrid has been rife all week but Ronaldo has
reiterated his desire to remain at Old Trafford for the immediate
future and insists he is now only focused on representing Portugal
at Euro 2008 next month.
"I have a contract with Manchester United and at the moment I am
only thinking about having a successful European Championship," he
said.
Ronaldo admitted feeling jaded after arriving in Portugal on
Friday to join up with the national squad following prolonged
celebrations in Moscow, but is looking forward to continuing his
superb form on the international stage.
"I feel a little tired today (Friday) but I am going to have a
rest in order to be ready for the Euros," he told Portuguese
newspaper O Jogo.
"I'm going to arrive there in form and anything is
possible."
