He said he had been betrayed by manager Erik ten Hag and other key people at Old Trafford, while he accused the owners, The Glazers, of not caring about the club sportingly.

He also slammed Man Utd legends Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville, whilst claiming that he had never heard of previous manager Ralf Rangnick when he arrived.

Ronaldo said the club is stuck in the past and hasn’t modernised since his first spell well over a decade ago.

Man Utd players want Ronaldo out

The 37-year-old’s comments have unsurprisingly caused a huge cloud to form above Manchester United and everything and everyone associated with the club.

According to the Manchester Evening News, the large majority of the Man Utd squad feel furious at what Ronaldo has done.

The overwhelming consensus is that Ronaldo should not be allowed to play for Man Utd ever again. They feel Ronaldo disrespected everyone everyone at the club, including the manager, and there is no way back for him. He should not even be allowed to train again at the club, they feel.

Ronaldo had a frosty exchange with Bruno Fernandes when the pair met up on Tuesday for international duty ahead of the World Cup.

Raphael Varane also admitted from France’s camp that Ronaldo’s actions had affected Man Utd’s players.

Ronaldo is well-known to be looking for a new club, having initially issued a transfer request in July.

The attacker tried to find a new club in the summer but was unable to find a suitable taker. It is expected that Ronaldo and United will negotiate a deal that sees the player released from his contract before the Premier League resumes just after the World Cup finishes on December 20.
