Figo warns Ronaldo over future

Luis Figo claims Man Utd's Cristiano Ronaldo should think carefully about his future.

Luis Figo has lavished praise on Cristiano Ronaldo, but feels he may have to consider his club future to fully realise his ambitions.

The 22-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic season for Manchester United and is widely tipped to walk away with the PFA Player of the Year award.

However, speculation about his future has been almost as prevalent as his fine form, with stories linking him to both Real Madrid and Barcelona refusing to go away.

Figo, who played for and enjoyed success with both Spanish giants, is full of admiration for Ronaldo's current exploits, but feels he should think long and hard about who he commits his long-term future to.

"Cristiano Ronaldo is the Portuguese player with the best future in the European market," Figo stated. 

"He could go very far, but he will have to pay attention to the club he chooses to play for.

"In individual terms I think Cristiano could win every title going because he has the quality to do so. But equally I think it depends on the club where he is at to live up to his standards."
