Wes Brown has backed Cristiano Ronaldo to move to the MLS and reignite his rivalry with Lionel Messi. He believes that the Portuguese star will not be hanging up his boots soon and added that he will continue to break records.
Speaking to The Sports Daily, Brown stated:
“Cristiano Ronaldo has to go to America, especially given that Lionel Messi is there as well. I’ve seen Ronaldo play a few times and it’s been a good standard, he is scoring goals and looking so fit for his age, still sprinting at 40.
"He wants to play for as long as he can, and he’s a player who can hand-pick where he wants to play next. He won’t hang his boots up anytime soon and will keep breaking records. He has been to a few places now and I’d love to see him add America to the list. He has been scoring more goals than Messi of late and it would be great to see them go head-to-head again.”
Cristiano Ronaldo has not signed a new deal at Al Nassr and is in the final months of his contract at the club. He has been linked with a move away from the club, but the forward has repeatedly stated that he wants to remain in Saudi Arabia.

Mikael Silvestre spoke to Norskebettingsider last year and claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo should be thinking about a move to the MLS. He stated that the Portuguese star should reignite his rivalry with Lionel Messi and said:
"To see Cristiano Ronaldo going head-to-head with Messi in the MLS would be nothing short of breathtaking; it would fulfill the dreams of countless football fans. Perhaps after the World Cup, he might contemplate a change, which could be the final transfer of his illustrious career."
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have admitted that they are in the final years of their careers. Both have added that they would like to remain at their current clubs and see them as their final sides.
