Ten Hag comes out of this stronger. He's handled it brilliantly. For Ronaldo to come out with such little respect for him, when he's being a total baby just seals the deal.
Cristiano Ronaldo: Set to leave by mutual agreement

Should never have brought the toxic prick back. But, he's history now.
This is usually around the time someone claims to have been hacked.
He's timed the interview with the WC and as December transfer window is in sight. Yes, seems he has played his last game.
messi has succeeded in one country with much of his playing time being with possible the best club side ever. Ronaldo has done it in the three biggest leagues in the world. Also, you are possibly not old enough to have seen Pele (and very possibly prime Cruyff)
This is the second time he has done this now, first was when he wanted to go to R Madrid, he said he was a slave.
Terminate his contract NOW, she should never wear the shirt again , dont care if he is a club legend, for me he has tarnished his image to a point where it is un-repairable.
Of all people to give an interview to Piers fecking Morgan.
If he plays for us again and he scores, I will cheers the goal but not the scorer.

Surely you can criticise him when he has an agenda. But this time he didn't imo. He was simply saying the truth.
Surely this amounts to gross misconduct and therefore United can tear up his contract without compensation. He is right with his comments about the club, but he is sabotaging Ten Hag's rebuild. He's gone!

Literally what I was thinking reading the Ten Hag quotes. It’s a whole other level of delusion. Like he must genuinely believe this version of events in his head.
I am going to be supporting Argentina in this worldcup. Argentina win will be the final dagger throughout the heart of his GOAT status in his head. It will be even sweeter if Messi is injured for the final and coaching from the sidelines.
Gary Neville, has banged on about it via one of the biggest platforms to actual football fans in Sky, and he's not the only one. Rio, Scholes, etc have gone on about it. The bit about the club higher ups is not news to any United fan.
Nothing he's saying there is new. All he's doing is trying to justify his behaviour.
To be fair, with every public media outcry about the Glazer's ownership, they've been forced into action, and while I see this for what it is, some of the recent improvements they've been taking their time with might get accelerated. Not giving any credit to this guy though. If he was in the CL and playing every game, you wouldn't hear a peep.
Again this is just trying to pull the wool over the eyes of this roadies. He shouldn't need to bother tbh, he can't any wrong in their eyes
You'd be surprised Mr Luckhurst, you'd be very surprised at the lengths some would go to defend him
People love to take these kind of moments to call out everyone who didn’t call Ronaldo a cnut since he joined, because they’d obviously do that if they were in their position…
Undoubtably one of the games best ever and one of the best we've ever seen at OT but those days are over and any (positive) headlines he makes have long since been yesterdays chip wrapper. No one else wants him, his performances are shite at best, and he's now making a bit of a twat of himself to be fair. Give in gracefully lad.
Will always love Sir Alex but this wasn't a masterpiece. Imagine the meltdown would've been similar at city after pep ultimately had to bench him.
Or even better, they could've missed out on Haaland...
You can't speak like that about your manager. Sack him right now. I don't care about his status or what he has achieved. What a selfish prick. Get out.
Sincerely hope this interview backfires. And to all the gutter snipe journalist’s, we’re doing very well without him thank you.
That's what I'm saying man. If a man has already shown he has an agenda and doesnt always say it like it is, then I cannot say later that Neville only said it because its his job to tell the truth. We already established he doesnt always do that, so maybe he should have protected his ex teammate, like he protects Harry Maguire, Harry Kane or Ole.
But in hindsight you can say it was not worth it anyway. Ronaldo has shown himself to be an absolute twat, regardless of what Neville should or should not have done. Just get this man out of the club ASAP.
It's a sad end for what was once a wonderful player. I wonder if he really is that delusional.
I don't know how we can get rid without paying him off though.

Yes but doing that would slap him in the face.
Say no : licking his own spit of wanting out.
Say yes : saving the management his wage and his problem and tarnished his reputation even more.
Win win for us either way
This is absolutely bollocks imo. He was following SAF's words not his 'heart'. Like he has any heart for anything but himself.
I've seen clips of the interview but not actually heard him say the words about ETH. I don't think he's wrong to criticise the club - we are a mess and he was out top scorer last season by a mile. But you can't say that out loud for all to hear about you boss and get away with it. Can't see him playing for us again.
What disappoints me more is going on a crap station with someone who's now little more than a shock jock and talking. I did notice that Ronaldo didn't say anything controversial without being led there by Piers Moron, who I'm sure will crow about getting the interview and saying no one else would have got it.
If this had been a full page interview in a broadsheet paper and he talked about many things and then said what he said, he might have got his side of things over much better. What he's achieved here is the possibility of not being sold and left to rot in the reserves. Not sure who would take him after this other than maybe Sporting (can they afford it? I guess he can easily afford a cut in wages).
One final thing: there's no doubt that he's been maligned on the caf and if he has been treated similarly by the club, he's not wrong to complain. But he has gone about it in the most wrong way possible. As I said, he's done but I don't think we played him in the right position since his return. He's not a No.9 and never has been... we need to buy one of those.
I'd love to know what those people who have attacked here would have said if he'd joined City and scored lots of goal would have said: called him a traitor, no doubt... that said, he's dug his own grave and is (and should be) finished at United. Turns out that for all his brilliance (and he has been brilliant) that he's pretty dim

Messi is in the CL and racking up goals and assists again, and Ronaldo is not. Ronaldo's unable to accept that. Unable to accept how his performances are not upto his ego, how he cannot affect games anymore and is being dropped as a result, unable to realize he's not even being counted as good enough to make it as a sub, unable to comprehend that he will struggle to make CL in the foreseeable future. He will do terrible things to avoid accepting his decline, because none of them seem remotely as terrible as realizing, in his mind, that he is not only no longer the greatest football player ever, he's not even a good one anymore. He has to find something else to blame, to put up as a reason for his failures. That's all this interview his - his denial of reality.
He's trying to find another CL club, clearly, and no one's willing to take a past-it player on those wages, clearly. He wishes to force the club to terminate his contract so he can join a CL club for free, and prove to the world (but mostly to himself) that he's still the greatest, capable of everything he thinks he is.
This interview is a ploy to force the club's hand. That is the only reason why Jorge Mendes would approve of this interview - because United is unwilling to take any finanical hit from this transfer and no CL club will sign him till they do. It is truly terrible, the denial of a narcissist. The world will burn before he accepts that it's all over.
I hope his attempts work, and that United takes the financial hit. This level of toxicity is not worth the money they'd save. Terminate his contract, immediately.

Don't know if posted but this sums it up.
How can anyone defend Ronaldo over Messi at this point?
That is if he doesn’t start for Portugal, otherwise it is even possible that they dont make it out of the group stage. Ghana Uruguay and South Korea are all very good teams that can qualify for the knock out
I tell you what I think it will happen. The interview will attract a huge share of audience both locally and abroad which of course is good news for Morgan. United will probably stay silent for the time being while will allowing fans (not only United's but also non United fans who were either bitten by Ronaldo or who simply hated him for most of his career ie the Messi fanboys) to rip him in shreds. Former legends will pitch in. Most are either still linked to the club or had built a reputation of being different from the current crop because they were winners who put some real effort in the club instead of moaning. Surely they wouldn't be associated with their former colleague who is doing exactly that. Clubs like Juventus and Real will soon join and will let their own affiliated journalists come out with 'I told you so' to justify themselves for letting Ronaldo go. Thus a trickle will soon become a flood.
In the short term we will look like idiots ie those who bought this washed up trouble maker. However the club would quickly move on by investing in its facilities, get a couple of new football people in and buy a replacement for Ronaldo. The message would be clear to everyone ie United had learnt from their mistakes and are moving on. If the pressure is too high then Murtough might be sacrificed. There's already a Bentley equivalent available for free in Liverpool's former DOF Michael Edwards. Such signing will have even people like myself come out and applaud the club.
Ronaldo will be the biggest loser of it all. He'll be seen as a 38 year washed up player who had caused all sort of miseries at two huge clubs (Juve and United), who simply won't accept his decline gracefully and who would cause all sort of problems unless he gets what he wants .Ibra is tolerated at Milan because its beneficial for them to have a winner in a young dressing room. Its evident that Ronaldo won't accept the role of a 'shadow manager' in the dressing room. Many clubs will stir away from him out of fear they'll be labelled as the next suckers who would end up with their dirty laundry aired to the public and sponsors will soon abandon him.
Ronaldo should have sorted this behind close doors. If he can't do that then he should have shared his story with someone who'll either do his outmost to defend his legacy like for example Gaz or someone who is simply too grateful for the opportunity of interviewing him to allow him to blunder (ex Romano).
Not interested in this nonsense childish debate. I hope you follow Ronaldo wherever he ends up so we don't have to ensure your constant crying whenever someone criticises him
Quotes about Rooney are everything 
.
37y old person talks about how he is better looking than other person. Pure gold comment

I'm gonna support any team that faces Portugal
I want his WC to end in tears@RedRonaldo what do you think of his 2nd stint here now mate?
He also did what Ronaldo has done & had a go at the standards of the club which some fans will cling to more than the rest.
I too could see Keane trying to defend this nonsense.
When are Ronaldo fanbois going to realise that he loves himself more than any fan or club.
what a pathetic comment

He’s such a funny looking cnut himself too, anyone would think he had Becks looks the way he goes on.
Bizarre man child behaviour.
because his stupid interview doesn't change facts. To say he's been better in three leagues doesn't defend what he's done. try reading it all - I put two players over both of them
Eh, I don't know about that. Old Trafford crowd is something different.
They will still sing "Viva Ronaldo" no matter what happen unless Club issues matchban for whoever does that.
It’s utterly shocking to see one of the greatest football players all time displaying this kind of childish behaviour at age 37, nearly 40… This guy really needs to go into therapy.
Forgive the fanboys, they are in a stage now where they don't know to blame who for what
