Under Erik ten Hag, Ronaldo found himself sidelined, leading to increasing frustrations about his role and the direction of the team.
The situation came to a head when Ronaldo sat down for a bombshell interview with Piers Morgan, openly criticizing United’s management, facilities, and overall lack of progress.
His comments sent shockwaves through the footballing world, dividing opinions among fans, pundits, and even those within the club.
Ronaldo spoke candidly about his dissatisfaction with the team’s culture, claiming that standards had dropped significantly since his first spell at Old Trafford.
He also took aim at Ten Hag, insisting that he had no respect for the Dutch manager due to the way he was treated during his final months at the club.
Ultimately, the interview led to the termination of his contract, with Ronaldo moving on to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia while United tried to move forward under Ten Hag.
Since then, United have struggled for consistency, enduring a chaotic season that has exposed many of the same issues Ronaldo highlighted in his interview.
As debates over his remarks continue, one former United winger has now spoken out, sharing his thoughts on the Portuguese star’s controversial statements.
