Portuguese star forward Cristiano Ronaldo has said that he wants to see out his contract at Real Madrid, which has nearly four years left to be completed.

Ronaldo has been linked with a return to Manchester United, whom he left to join Real in a then-world record 80 million pound deal in 2009. He was presented with the European Golden Shoe on Wednesday for scoring 31 La Liga goals in 2013-14.

Ronaldo said that he hopes to finish his contract with Real Madrid at 33 and after that they would see if they want him to stay, adding that he feels young and still a long way off retiring, The BBC reported.

Ronaldo shares the Golden Shoe award with Uruguay's Luis Suarez, who scored 31 Premier League goals for Liverpool last season before joining Barcelona for 75 million pounds.

The Portuguese, who has been nominated for the 2014 Ballon d'Or award to decide the world footballer of the year, has already registered 22 goals in all competitions this season.

In total he has scored 194 league goals in 174 appearances for Real, while netting 55 times in 55 Champions League matches for the current holders.

Ronaldo has said that there would be discussions with club president Florentino Perez over renewing his current contract, which he signed in September 2013. He added that he is very happy and in a great moment of form.

A three-time winner of the Golden Shoe and two-time winner of the Ballon d'Or, Ronaldo said that he wants to become the best footballer in history.
