The Red Devils' icon is putting his trust in the divine as far as his career is concerned.

Cristiano Ronaldo has once again insisted that he is perfectly happy at present at Manchester United, and appreciates the opportunities that being at such a successful club provide for him. The long-term future, he insists, is in the hands of the Almighty.

"I feel very happy where I am now," he told Setanta Sports. "I feel very good in Manchester. [We] compete for four titles - I have to appreciate that.

"The future? Only God knows. I prefer to speak about the present. The present is brilliant. I feel very happy here. I want to stay here. I don't want to go anywhere.

"I want to win, if I have the opportunity, again. I am quite happy with my season."

Playing alongside quality additions to the United squad this season, Dimitar Berbatov for example, is also something that Ronaldo appreciates, and he is unconcerned about which position he is selected in, just as long as the manager continues to name him in the starting line-up.

"The team is fantastic, " he said. "It's quite different to play with different players. It's quite different with Berbatov.

"It's changed a little bit, but it's good. If I play I am quite happy."

As for United's challenge across such a wide range of honours this season, the Portuguese felt that the developing experience within the side was one vital factor, adding, "The team is more mature, more experienced, and when they go on the pitch they know what they're going to do.

"This is why we have a good team. It's good to be part of this team."

When quizzed about his Ballon D'Or win last year, the forward highlighted that it was a great feeling to be named as the best player in the world, but also insisted that collective achievements gave him just as much pleasure.

"It's always important to win individual things, " he continued. "But we have to mention the collective - the Champions League is an amazing feeling, and the league.

"It's an unbelievable feeling. Like you are in heaven. the feeling is very good."

As for the continuing speculation linking him with moves away from Old Trafford, Ronaldo dismissed it as part and parcel of his occupation, something which, with his own strength and the backing of friends and family, he could ignore while getting on with the job he loves.

He concluded, "I am always very strong, mentally and physically. I have good friends and good family.

"I'm very happy. I like to do what I do. It's my dream, my life."
