‘I Feel Betrayed’ By Manchester United-Cristiano Ronaldo
LAGOS NOVEMBER 14TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Cristiano Ronaldo has finally spoken out about his attempts to leave Manchester United and after months of silence he did not hold back.
Speaking to Piers Morgan, Ronaldo hit out at Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, the club and people within it for not letting him leave this summer.
After starting in United’s 3-1 defeat at Aston Villa last weekend, Ronaldo, 37, has not featured in United’s final two games before the World Cup due to an illness.
I think we can now read between the lines and understand it may have been down to this interview.
Cristiano Ronaldo opens up on Manchester United situation
“Not only the coach but the other two or three guys around the club,” Ronaldo said when asked if United are trying to force him out. “I felt betrayed.”
Asked if he felt like they were trying to get rid of him, Ronaldo’s response went as follows.
“Honestly I should not say that I don’t know. I don’t care. People should always listen to the truth. Yes, I feel betrayed and I felt that some people don’t want me here [at Manchester United]. Not only this year but last year too.”
What next?
After this, it is clear Cristiano Ronaldo will not play for Manchester United again, even though he has over six months left on his current contract.
How can he?
After talking out against the manager and other club officials for the first time publicly, he knows what he wants to do.
Ronaldo wants out after the World Cup and the timing of this interview is perfect as he will now go away with Portugal for the next six weeks and he will want his future and a move away sorted by the time the January window opens.
After scoring just once in the Premier League for United this season and used sparingly, Ronaldo is not in Erik ten Hag’s plans and he wanted out a long time ago. United wanted to keep him, while no superpower seemed to arrive with a serious offer to sign him.
Let’s see if that will change in January as Ronaldo targets a return to the UEFA Champions League.
