Ronaldo's officially entered his old man phase with the whole "kids these days have it easier and don't work as hard as people in my day".
Cristiano Ronaldo: Set to leave by mutual agreement

Fair play to him for calling out the Glazers.
Yeah pretty much my take on it too.
He probably hasn't realised that his narcissistic ego has done Ten Hag a massive favour. Now the manager won't have to play him again, and he'll probably get some funds to sign a new forward. And while he's probably only saying it to get the fans onboard, him humiliating the Glazers is always a good thing.
We still need to bin his contract though, pronto preferably.
What kind of light has he shone on the Glazers?
Were you aware that the Glazers haven't been good owners? I think not !
The phrase "Pierce Morgan is a brilliant journalist " should be punishable by law.
What exactly in that shines any sort of light(new light) on the owners? Think about it this way, he joined the club without issue after a massive protest against the owners and the owners are currently supporting the manager who is making football decisions that do not suit Ronaldo.
The only light shining is the one showing us that Ronaldo didn't care about the owners before signing and the owners seemingly don't care about his whining against the manager and are ready to support the latters 'Football decisions.
See your just picking bits that are clearly wrong and applying them to my statement.
His comments about the club, the lack of investment in infrastructure, modernisation, Ragnick, the owners, the stagnation. None of that is wrong.
He's just picked the wrong platform to say it and needs to go.
We did big purge of Liverpool fans last year. I would take them back instead Ronaldo fansAnother one flushed out
Why is he suddenly so in demand among all the loons (Kanye and that bald sexist youtybe guy too)? I thought he was considerd to be a bit of a joke in the UK.
Is he? He tries to make himself relevant by sucking up to whoever famous he can find. Best responding to that are pathological narcissists hence the clientele he has.
I guess the other posters saying you’re 12 aren’t that far off haha!
The club invested in infrastructures, the club has continuously modernized its approach based on managers wishes, Rangnick was well known and pressing is neither new nor a strange approach and the club has been inconsistent more than stagnating which is a fairly normal thing.
I mean it's not as if Real Madrid weren't stagnating before 2009. One of the paradox of Ronaldo is that he seems to not realize that he was a massive difference maker during his prime and that United losing him meant that the clubs ceiling was instantly lowered with literally no way to fix it because Ronaldo was unique and Messi going nowhere.
Hope he called out our terrible mistake in giving him at age 36/37 for enormous wages. Oh, he signed the contract and thought it was a great idea and only pointed it out once he became an unhappy squad player? That's a surprise.
It's funny because his being at this football is a symptom of the problem we're trying to put behind us and people like ETH is working hard to fix. That's a man getting into the muck and doing the best to get us back. So far he's managed to lift us from the run and at least build a spirit and a small semblance of identity into this team. Yet this cartoon thinks its a good idea to go after him because he didn't get treated as per his delusional image of himself.
Yeah, that's breaking news.
He has no problem taking their money does he!
Good one you should be on stage, maybe the other posters will be your friends and you won’t ever have to validate a reasonable opinion ever again.
If you need to say then it obviously hasn't gone well.
Would love for United to dig their heels in now over his contract.
Plus he is right about the youth players attitude.
Now the gormless owners will have to pay him off and insert a clause banning him from talking about the ownership. Game set and match to Ronaldo.
I didn't say new light.
It's just objectively true that he's shining a light on the issue seeing as he's doing an interview to be seen by millions criticizing the Glazers as a current member of the playing staff, irrespective of his motivation for doing so. I don't even think it'll change anything but its not nothing and its certainly not a bad thing.
How is he right about that when youth players are more professionalized today and expected to contribute heavily sooner? It's probably the daftest of all the suggestions he made.
He is shining light that was already one? Have you tried that in real life?
People have been talking about ownership for years. I don't think it makes any difference to them. Why do they have to pay him off? Let an offer come in. If it doesn't he can enjoy the bench for the rest of his contract. Game set and match Manchester United.
Also he's been the most unprofessional player at this football club for awhile. What a terrible example he's shown for all the young players.
Are you being an absolute melt on purpose now?
Nobody with half a brain will take Ronaldo "calling out" the owners as anything but a blatant attempt to suck up to the fans. He knows we don't care much for the Glazers (duh).
It appears to have worked to some degree, though.
Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that it's being used by his fanboys in a predictable manner.

Like hundreds of others. He is the only current player to have called them out.
Its the same with fans in the stadium, they are paying for tickets but at least they’re calling them out.
Bingo
For a no reason Manchester United has name the stadium "Theatre of Dreams". And we are maybe on the last chapter of the football movie "Manchester & Cristiano " Reaching the climax of the drama in the movie.
And like most moive and theatre. Which ones doesn't have drama? The dramaturgy is there. A well written manuscript. And the male actor is Cristiano Ronaldo.
And when you first make bond and bind to Ronaldo. Like marry someone. I have been heard that you have accept the negative sides of that person too. We can't never apart the negatives sides out of the person.
And with the level, status and fame Ronaldo have reached. I think it will hard for him to accept. You day of football career is over. Soon or later he will have to accept it. That is not like the one he was before. The peak Ronaldo.
But back to Old Trafford. " The theatre of dreams ". A place where big stars is dreaming of big goals and is like a actor. Include of the full of Drama. From Best and to now.
And at the highest level of fame, status and power. No one would care or known about a player from the non league. But at this level and size of it. Ronaldo is at the highest and one of the most famous theatre " The theatre of Dreams "
Life is just like a movie and theatre. And Old Trafford and "Theatre of Dreams " have been since Sir Busby time. Been a place for England and world biggest players.
So in the end. The question is. Is a dream real or just an illusion? If thing is real = it will last forever. Compare to illusion & Dreams = come, disapear and will not last forever. Old Trafford, Ronaldo and Manchester or even this earth?
So soon or later. Ronaldo has to face it. The reality. Because it's like a illusion and dreams. Soon or later it will come to and end. Accept the reality is the key to face and handle it. The end day of a football career. Nothing will last forever.

Depends on how you take what he said, because he didn't clarify.
I think it's obvious the majority of young players nowadays are very focused on their social media/building their brand and less focused on their football. They've made it before they've even played in the first team. The era Ronaldo was 'born into' at United was full of players who lived and breathed football - and everything else was a side interest. Technology and player power hasn't helped but it's wrong to dismiss this claim.
He has always been a moron, never wanted him back and hope he is thrown out quickly.
It’s like Simon Jordan was saying before he went into one and got sensationalist the interview was kinda meh, which makes you wonder the real reason for the spite in a lot of these posts.
Yeah you really have to wonder why
Wasn’t the whole squad and manager giving off about Garnacho’s attitude?
You are right but that's not what the public perception will be. This the first time an active employee has spoken against the Glazers which can only be a good thing for the anti- Glazer sentiment. Of course, it should be clear that this is just a self preservation rhetoric he's presenting but it does put more pressure on the Glazers.
It depends on nothing. Young players today are required to spend more time playing organized Football, at a higher level and in a more professional setting. The fact that they spent their spare time on social media doesn't change the reality of their Football careers.
I read somewhere they've lost £400m on that interview alone.
I won't pretend I'm a economic expert but surely this is as good a chance as you'll ever get to force them out? If as little as a couple more members of your squad (or manager) speak out the pressure on them would be huge.
