What did Cristiano Ronaldo say about Manchester United?

Cristiano Ronaldo did not mince his words during his explosive interview with Piers Morgan on the Piers Morgan Uncensored TV show as he not only slammed Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag but also the whole club for 'betraying' him and wanting him to leave the club.

On being asked if Ten Hag wanted him to leave, the Portuguese international replied, "Not only the coach but the other two or three guys there around the club as well." Ronaldo was then also asked if senior-level executives were involved in the discussion, to which he replied, "Yes. I felt betrayed. I felt that some people don't want me here, not only this year but last year too."."
