The forward is unlikely to play for Manchester United again, after aiming fire at manager Erik ten Hag and the club for feeling ‘betrayed’
If you are going to burn your house down, it is advisable to make sure you have an exit open before you ignite the petrol poured all over the interior.
Cristano Ronaldo was still inside Old Trafford when he lit the flame and does not appear to have a clear idea how he gets out as the fire spreads.
There are many mistakes you can highlight in Ronaldo’s self obsessed claims of betrayal interview with Piers Morgan and TalkTV, but the most significant as we move on from it is, he has already told Manchester United that he wanted to leave once and nobody wanted to take him.
That was embarrassing for Ronaldo in the summer. It could be the ultimate humiliation now. Anyone who has seen Ronaldo play live this season knows he is nowhere near the player he was. He looks increasingly like an old man surrounded by faster, sharper, better younger athletes. Every other club who might consider signing him will have surely seen this.
