On Sunday, Ronaldo was not in the lineup when ManU took a 2-1 victory over Fulham in the last Premier League match played before the World Cup break.
Still, Ronaldo is once again the main subject of the headlines, as he has given a truly extraordinary interview with the media personality For Piers Morgan. Morgan talks about the 90-minute interview on Twitter, which will be shown on Wednesday and Thursday on the TalkTV channel, but the British tabloid The Sun published from the interview (you are moving to another service) tastings on Sunday.
According to Morgan, Ronaldo has had enough of the ridicule and accusations that have been directed at him in recent months. Morgan touts it as the most explosive interview Ronaldo has ever given.
Ronaldo has said that recent times have been more difficult in his career both athletically and personally.
ManU’s head coach for this season Erik ten Hag has assured throughout the summer and autumn that Ronaldo is an important part of the club’s plans.
Instead, Ronaldo tells Morgan that the head coach and “a few others” in the club’s management are trying to force him out of the club. According to Ronaldo, this already started last season.
– I feel betrayed, Ronaldo downloads.
According to Ronaldo, time has stopped at Manchester United since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club in 2013. According to Ronaldo, Ferguson knows that ManU is not at the level it should be, but others refuse to understand it.
– After Sir Alex left, I haven’t seen any development in the club. Nothing has changed.
Last season Ole Gunnar Solskjärin after being fired from ManUa, the German pilot Ralf Rangnickwho moved to pesti from the post of sports director of Lokomotiv Moscow.
– If you are not even a coach, how are you going to be the boss of Manchester United? I had never even heard of him.
The current pilot gets just as hard from the Portuguese.
– I don’t respect him because he doesn’t show respect to me.
Last spring, Ronaldo’s family was met with grief when Ronaldo’s spouse Georgina Rodriquez was expecting twins. The girl child was born healthy, but the boy died.
Ronaldo tells Morgan that he has even received condolences from the royal family, but he accuses United of a lack of empathy.
When Ronaldo left Juventus in the summer of 2021, he was even taken to the ranks of Manchester City, ManU’s local enemy. Ronaldo tells Morgan that Sir Alex Ferguson convinced him to return to United.
Ronaldo won three Premier League titles and the Champions League with Ferguson at ManU. The Portuguese has often emphasized in interviews how much he appreciates Ferguson.
However, according to his words, Ronaldo returned to United, where the young players have no attitude and the club is no longer able to attract the best players.
Ronaldo says he gave the interview because “the fans deserve to know the truth”. He thanks in the interview that the fans have always supported him.
– I want the best for the club. This is why I came to United. But there are things about the club that do not help to reach the top level that City, Liverpool and now even Arsenal have. This club should be at the top, but unfortunately it is not.
Ronaldo has won 32 trophies in his career, including five Champions Leagues and seven league titles in four different countries. He has been awarded the Golden Ball five times as the best in the world. Ronaldo, who won European Championship gold in 2016 with Portugal, is now on his way to his fifth World Cup tournament.
According to Morgan, it is difficult to see how Ronaldo could ever return to United. Among other things According to ESPN (you will be transferred to another service) Throughout the fall, ManU has tried to offer Ronaldo to other clubs on a free transfer, but no one has wanted to take Ronaldo’s £500,000 (around EUR 571,000) weekly salary. Ronaldo’s contract with ManU lasts until next summer.
In ManU, according to ESPN, they hope that this would perform cheerfully on the World Cup greens, which could increase interest in the January transfer window.
Manchester United has already risen to fifth place in the Premier League after its miserable start to the season. League leader Arsenal is 11 points ahead. You can see the league table at this link.
