Morgan saying earlier more bombshell admissions coming at 10pm and it’s a guy grieving about his dead son. He really is a colossal shit to sensationalise that.
Cristiano Ronaldo: Set to leave by mutual agreement

Ten Hag has said he doesn’t like take ons or dribbles due to how teams set up these days. Dribbling doesn’t get you the space it did 15 years ago, you’re just engaged in another press or are tactically fouled anyway
You can be sure.
I can see this 2 hour interview is just going to have about 5 or 10 mins of actual "shocking" stuff. The rest of it is just him and Piers having a chat about life and stuff. Good effort by Piers Morgan to make a song and dance out of it though.
See, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning with cristiano, but United got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Ten Hag KNOWS cristiano aint shit he's not even gonna try!
Was PM the guy who had a dying girls phone hacked?

Yes that's awful for anyone to go through and it's got to be kept completely separate from football
Must have missed this, what a shame. We could be more exciting (and infuriating) to watch with more dribbling in play
Do you really think ten Hag wants him to stay?
Ahh yes South Africa where the tactic under Queiroz was 9 men behind the ball and Ronaldo up top.
No Captain? Go ask that that to the 2016 team in the penalty shoot out vs Poland or in the final vs France or vs Hungary or vs Ibra’s sweden in 2014 or in 2014 when he played injured and many many more examples.
Your really showing your blue and white colors of that team in the north right now.
I agree with your interpretation here but I think he’s being ridiculous to take offence at what happened. He was very clearly looking for a move at the time, so it was obviously going to look suspicious when he chose to skip pre-season, even if he did have a legitimate reason. That was unfortunate but any rational person would see the club’s point of view and not seek to take offence. Especially when they didn’t directly challenge him.
He’s throwing his toys out of the pram because he wanted them to not only accept his excuse without question but also to not even give a hint of the utterly reasonable doubts they must have had because of the timing and context of his actions. Which is pure prima donna behaviour. Completely self-absorbed. Not giving a shit about what anyone else’s concerns or priorities might be at the time.
He loves overloads which tells me Sancho does have a future here but I do love a good flying winger if I had a choice
Nah that's bollocks.
What do you expect from the shithouse?
What was the 10pm comment then?
Transfer speculations or not to think that he would “lie” or use his 3 month old child as an excuse to not come into work after he just lost one is outright disrespectful not just to Ronaldo but any player. As a father has every right to feel disrespected about someone doubting his child being sick.
Maybe any other time its “ok” but after he just lost a child? Really bad taste to doubt something very close to home
His infant son dying being me of the worst moments of his life. Which no one has an issue with.
but many still sympathise with the club for doubting his intentions him when his 3 month of daughter was subsequently hospitalised just a few month later.
How difficult it was when his son died, which is completely understandable.
Talking about the death of his son.
Did the club stop him having as long as he wanted off?
Blue and white colours? I haven't watched a football game in 5 years. And what does that have to do with anything? I got it wrong as I meant Brazil and his on pitch attitude, when things weren't going well - he was half injured at the time.
Ronaldo is a colossal idiot, people don't like working with idiots.
You don't need to care about football to know that.
I think they did but seen a few saying ‘you can’t blame the club for being suspicious after the transfer request’.
So disrespected he was given the summer off.
The really bad taste is him trying to weaponise his children. Having lost a child, I find that a terrible thing to do.
I think he’ll be a totally different animal for Portugal in the WC. Knowing Utds luck Portugal will somehow end up going all the way while we will be in the process of letting him go for nothing, while paying him a stack of money to do so. I can’t wait for him to leave United and for us to get someone who is on the up, The drama is nowhere near worth it anymore. He’s been terrible for us this season and clearly a disruption behind the scenes.
Probably!?
You said he’s not a captain yet in our biggest conquest as a country that proves your point null and void. Go ask Moutinho or any player in that squad who was the leader of that pack.
Not a captain my arse.
He hasn't put in a transfer request.I think they did but seen a few saying ‘you can’t blame the club for being suspicious after the transfer request’.
No but that’s what I’m saying. If Ronaldo is going scorched earth then there is nothing Ten Hag can do to stop him. It’s not about handling a live grenade, it simply isn’t possible
Of course he was given the summer off. United would be looked at all kind of ways if they didn’t in a situation like that and that’s not good for business.
As most thing what’s said in public and what the feeling is in private is very different. In public they can paint the prettiest picture ever.
Politics is no different.
I am sorry for the last sentence.
He then goes on to talk about the death of his father. While a child would be worse I can understand the trauma of losing a father at a young age.
I think they did but seen a few saying ‘you can’t blame the club for being suspicious after the transfer request’.
You can't be serious. Any employer would be a small bit suspicious of your motives in that situation. It's not a good look from Ronaldo claiming compassionate leave while his agent hawks him around Europe. However, they still gave him the time off and backed him up in statements to the media.
The only reason we have to believe that they didn't believe him is Ronaldo saying they believed me but they didn't believe me which is just a weird thing to say and not exactly conclusive.
Yep. It was shaping up like that after the initial splurge. Surprised an experienced media guy like Morgan would play his full hand straight away though even if it's basically all he's got. He's surely held something supposedly sensational back for the second programme otherwise everyone will bodyswerve it after a 98% bland first part.
Okay then let me correct that ‘after it being well publicised that he was looking to leave’.
He also lost his father when he was very young.
i'm going to have to start checking my posts. it's a feeding frenzy when you miswrite something
