Cristiano Ronaldo has said he will shut critics mouth at Manchester United by winning more trophies with the club.
The Portuguese forward said he faces personal criticisms because fans know his potential and his value in football.
The forward spoke ahead of their clash with Liverpool this weekend in an exclusive interview with SkySports.
Speaking in his performance he said “ “I know when the team needs my help defensively. But my role in the club is to win, help the team to win and to score goals – [the defensive side] is part of my job.
“The people who don’t want to see that is because they don’t like me but to be honest I’m 36, I win everything so am I going to be worried about the people who say bad things about me?
“I sleep good at night. I go to my bed with my conscience very good. Keep going with that because I will still close mouths and win things.
“Criticism is always part of the business. I’m not worried about that. And I see it as a good thing to be honest. If they worry about me or they speak about me, it’s because they know my potential and value in football still.
“So it’s good. I’ll give you an example: if you’re in a school and you’re the best student, you ask the worst student if he likes the best, they’ll say they don’t like him”.
