Cristiano Ronaldo has broken his silence on his future in an interview with Piers Morgan after being linked with a summer transfer to Chelsea
Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has broken his silence on his situation at Old Trafford.
Ronaldo made it clear that he wanted to leave the club during the summer transfer window, but United refused to allow the 37-year-old striker to leave the club. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner returned to Manchester last summer after leaving Juventus and scored 24 goals in just 39 appearances in all competitions.
Chelsea were one of many clubs to be linked with a move for Ronaldo over the summer, with Todd Boehly having met his agent Jorge Mendes over a potential deal. Former Blues boss Thomas Tuchel shot down the idea of signing the United ace, a decision which contributed to his eventual sacking and now Ronaldo has opened up on his current situation at Old Trafford.
In an exclusive TV interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored, via The Sun, Ronaldo admitted to feeling ‘betrayed’ by Erik ten Hag and some senior figures at United. Asked if United are trying to force him out, the 37-year-old said: “Yes. Not only the coach but the other two or three guys that are around the club.”
When asked if they are at senior executive level, Ronaldo added: “Yes. I felt betrayed.”
Ronaldo continued by discussing the idea that United are actively trying to get rid of him, despite the Portuguese superstar being one of the greatest players to have ever graced the field of play. Ronaldo said: “Honestly, I shouldn’t say that I don’t know but listen, I don’t care.
