MANCHESTER UNITED are ready to rip up Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract after his brutal criticism of the club.
And close pal Rio Ferdinand claims that is exactly what the Portugal superstar wants.
In an bombshell TalkTV interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo delivered a damning assessment of the Red Devils and revealed he has no respect for boss Erik ten Hag.
Ferdinand said: “You can’t defend that from Cristiano Ronaldo. I don’t feel there is any way back, I don’t feel the club will take him back and I don’t think he wants to come back.
“Deep down – and I know it for a fact – this has all been manufactured for one thing and that’s for him to leave the club.
