Matt Le Tissier is of the belief that Cristiano Ronaldo can enjoy a career as lengthy as the one etched out by Ryan Giggs.

The Real Madrid superstar, 30, continues to score at will and provide assists for the Spanish giants and his general wellbeing will see him play well into his late 30s and possible even his 40s as Giggs did at Manchester United according to Southampton great Le Tissier.

"He's an incredible athlete," Le Tissier said on Sky Sports.

"It wouldn't surprise me if he carries on playing as Ryan Giggs did.

"He looks after himself, he's got the right mentality; if he keeps his enthusiasm, I think he could do that and he could adapt as a player.

"I think he could have a fair number of years left in him."
