Man Utd ace Ronaldo convinced he can better 42 goals record

Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo believes he can still match last season's goals figure of 42.

Currently on 14, Ronaldo told Inside United: "I've improved every year and the last season was the best. But I want more - this season I want to score the same amount of goals, or more. I know it'll be hard but I think it's possible."

The Portugal ace has sought advice from experienced players about how he can stay on top.

He said: "I've spoken to players who have a great history in the game. They've told me it's not what you do in one season, it's staying at the top level that is the challenge.

"If I don't perform, people will start to criticise me and I don't want that. I'm ambitious and plan to win many more things.

"When I arrived at 18, I was a good player, but not in decision making, like whether I have to pass the ball or dribble.

"Winning trophies and being at this club gives you maturity and I've learned a lot. When you're playing around great players you learn."
