After penning his new five-year contract, Cristiano Ronaldo declared he could achieve everything he wanted at Manchester United.

"I wanted to stay," he told MUTV. "I am at the right club and this is why I signed.

"Everything is okay here. I am happy with my colleagues, my friends and my coaches.

"The supporters have also helped me very much and I am really happy here."

With an impressive 20 goals to his name this term, Ronaldo has been the major driving force behind United's Treble bid.

He scored twice in the midweek Champions League rout of Roma and will tomorrow hope to guide the Red Devils into the FA Cup final at the expense of Premiership basement boys Watford.

Yet, despite the host of accolades coming his way, the youngster admits he still has plenty of improving to do.

"I was only 18 when I came here but everyone at the club has helped me," he said.

"I have learned a lot already but I still have more to learn and I just want to keep going.

"I want to win more trophies here and hopefully, I can do that this season."
