I genuinely don't know if Ronaldo is deluded. Does he really believe the stuff he is saying, or does he know he's crafting a story to explain away why he can't even score an open goal in Cyprus?
The line he was selling was the energy around United is all bad, it's demotivating, the coach and the higher ups hate me, hence why I am always offside these days.
It's bizarre how much he rambled on about how coming on for three minutes would have been a slight. Calling Ten Hag dishonest and all that nonsense.
From everything Ronaldo's said it's clear that the problem is Ten Hag treats him like any other player. Whereas he feels he should be treated like he's more than any other player. His mouth is writing cheques his body can no longer cash.
