Ronaldo, 37, is public enemy number one at Old Trafford after extracts of his scathing interview with Piers Morgan were drip-fed ahead of its full release on Wednesday and Thursday. This comes after he was punished by Erik ten Hag for refusing to come off the bench against Tottenham in October and leaving the stadium before full-time. The rest of the Red Devils squad would be happy to see Ronaldo leave and the club are even exploring the possibility of sacking the five-time Ballon d'Or winner. But ex-Italy striker Cassano would like to see another outcome: Ronaldo retiring after the World Cup. The 40-year-old believes the Portugal captain should have returned to Sporting Lisbon in the summer, when he pushed to leave Old Trafford, and must hang up his boots after the Qatar tournament this winter. Cassano also accused Ronaldo of putting "his selfishness first" at the expense of his teammates and his coaches - in stark contrast to Lionel Messi - and highlighted how he has not congratulated Karim Benzema on winning the Ballon d'Or. "Now, I say that Ronaldo does not have the courage to admit that for three years he is no longer himself," he told Bobo TV, per Sport Witness. "This year, he had to go to Sporting Lisbon and then quit after the World Cup. "He's a problem for the coaches, he puts his teammates in trouble. He didn't even call Benzema to congratulate him. He has a blindfold in front of his eyes and thinks he can play until he's 50. Dear Ronaldo, I tell you one thing: finish big with the World Cup.
