List of revelations that came out during Cristiano Ronaldo's interview
Ronaldo made a sensational return to Manchester United in 2021 and made a huge impact in his first season. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was United’s top goal-scorer last season with 24 goals in 39 appearances but his efforts were not enough for the team to qualify for this season's Champions League. During the interview with Piers Morgan, the Portuguese ace revealed that he is being forced to make an exit from Old Trafford club and he felt 'betrayed' by their action.
Ronaldo also spoke about not having respect for current manager Erik Ten Hag. He said, “I don’t have respect for him because he doesn’t show respect for me. If you don’t have respect for me, I’m never gonna have respect for you. If you don’t have respect for me, I’m never gonna have respect for you”. The 37-year-old during his interview also spoke about not hearing about former interim coach Ralf Rangnick. He said, “If you’re not even a coach, how are you going to be the boss of Manchester United? I’d never even heard of him,”.

The Portuguese footballer also mentioned the legendary United coach Sir Alex Ferguson in his comments and revealed how the club has not progressed since Ferguson left the club in 2013. He said, “The progress was zero. Since Sir Alex left, I saw no evolution in the club. Nothing had changed. I think the fans should know the truth. I want the best for the club. This is why I come to Manchester United,”.
