During an explosive interview with the Talk TV channel on Sunday November 13, 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo made serious accusations against his own club: Manchester United.
Revealed to the general public within his training club Sporting Lisbon, Cristiano Ronaldo entered the big leagues by joining Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. After winning the Premier League, the Champions League and the Golden Ball under the colors of the Red Devils, the Portuguese striker was transferred to Real Madrid in 2009. Became one of the best players in football history alongside Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United in 2021, after three seasons in the colors of Juventus Turin. Unfortunately, the player’s second adventure with the Mancunian club does not go as well as the first, and could even soon come to an end.
Indeed, the Portuguese wants to leave Manchester United in order to join a better team, which is playing in the Champions League. Very little used by his trainer Erik Ten Hag since the start of the seasonCristiano Ronaldo expressed his frustration in an interview with journalist Piers Morgan on the channel Talk TV Sunday November 13, 2022.”If they tried to force me to leave? Yes. Not only the coach but people from the club. I felt betrayed. Maybe I shouldn’t say this but I don’t care, people need to hear the truth. Yes I feel betrayed and I have the feeling that some people don’t want me here, this season but also last season. I have no respect for Erik Ten Hag because he shows no respect to me. If you don’t respect me, I won’t respect you“, said the player.
Cristiano Ronaldo very affected by the lack of confidence of the leaders of Manchester United
Cristiano Ronaldo also took advantage of this interview to make serious accusations against his own club. For the record, the Portuguese striker, who will compete in the 2022 World Cup with his team in Qatar, was hit by a terrible tragedy in April 2022. While he was expecting twins, Cristiano Ronaldo lost his son during childbirth. At the same time, the little girl who survived fell victim to an illness, which delayed her father’s return for Manchester United’s pre-season in July 2022. During his shock interview, the player accused his club leaders of missing out “of empathy” following this tragedy. Cristiano Ronaldo even had his word questioned when he explained to them the reasons for his delay. A lack of confidence that would have “hurt”, while leaving him in a very psychological state “Wrong”.
“Since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson, there has been no development at the club, zero progression. For example, how a club like Manchester United fired Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to bring back a sporting director like Ralf Rangnick. Nobody understood, he’s not even a coach. It surprised me but it surprised everyone. Nothing has changed. Neither the jacuzzi, nor the gym, certain elements of technology… not even the kitchen or the chef, a lovely person. They stopped time, it surprised me a lot because I thought I would find different things there, new infrastructures. But unfortunately, I found things that I had already seen when I was 20-21 years old“Cristiano Ronaldo finally concluded.
