Cristiano Ronaldo fans have come out in defense of the Manchester United superstar after his explosive interview, blaming the club for disrespecting the legendary forward.
Cristiano Ronaldo recently had a heart-to-heart with Piers Morgan, a snippet of which was released on Sunday night (November 13) (via The Sun). He claimed that a few people in the upper echelon of the United hierarchy wanted him out, from last season itself. The Portuguese admitted that he had no respect for Erik ten Hag, claiming that the Dutchman never respected him.
Ronaldo further claimed that he only joined the club at Sir Alex Ferguson’s command, adding that there had been no progress at the club since the legendary manager’s departure (2013).
