Cristiano Ronaldo has lifted the lid on his situation at Manchester United in a bombshell interview with Piers Morgan which has sent shockwaves around Old Trafford and the football world
Jamie Carragher believes Cristiano Ronaldo “wants to be sacked” by Manchester United after hitting out at the club in an explosive tell-all interview.
The Portuguese striker, 37, has disclosed his many grievances with how he is being treated by United in a brutally honest chat with friend and journalist Piers Morgan for his Talk TV show. Initial footage of the interview was released on Sunday evening with Morgan since claiming it was Ronaldo who approached him in a bid to set the record straight.
Among a number of bold claims, Ronaldo stated he felt the club had “betrayed” him by trying to force him out of Old Trafford this season and last, while also admitting he does not respect United boss Erik ten Hag because “he doesn’t show respect for me”.
Man Utd were caught completely off guard by the interview, made public in the aftermath of their win over Fulham – which Ronaldo missed due to illness – with first murmurings heard as Red Devils players were preparing to board their flight back from London.
