Five-time Ballon d’Or winner, Cristiano Ronaldo has slammed Manchester United for betraying him .
Ronaldo said this in a bombshell interview with Piers Morgan on Sunday night.
The Portuguese forward said the coach and some other guys at the club did not want him and that he needed to tell the truth about what is happening at the club.
Cristiano Ronaldo on Ten Hag: he doesn’t have respect for the coach because he doesn’t show respect for him.
“Yes [he’s being forced out]. Not only the coach but another two or three guys around. I felt betrayed.”
“People should listen to the truth. Yes, I feel betrayed and I felt that some people didn’t want me here [at Utd], not just this year, but last year too.”
“I don’t respect him because he doesn’t show respect for me. If you don’t have respect for me, I will never have any for you.”
He added that since Ferguson left the club nothing as changed to date and he always wants the best for the club.

“Since Sir Alex left, I saw no evolution in the club. Nothing had changed.”
“I think the fans should know the truth. I want the best for the club. This is why I come to Manchester United. But you have some things inside that don’t help (us) reach the top level as City, Liverpool and even now Arsenal.”
“I love Manchester United, I love the fans, they’re always on my side. But if they want to do it differently… they have to change many, many things.”
“He [Sir Alex Ferguson] knows better than anybody that the club is not on the path they deserve to be. He knows. Everyone knows. The people who don’t see that… it’s because they don’t want to see; they are blind.”
“A club with this dimension should be at top of the tree in my opinion and they are not, unfortunately.”
Ronaldo respond to why he was not included in the MUFC tour back in July, he said that his three-month-old daughter was hospitalised and he need to be with his family during that time.
“My 3-month-old daughter was hospitalised in July, which is why he could not return for pre-season and he felt hurt because senior executives at Manchester United doubted him.
“As Picasso said, you have to destroy it to rebuild it and if they start with me, for me, it’s not a problem.”
Cristiano Ronaldo on Wayne Rooney: “I don’t know why he criticizes me so much… probably because he’s finished his career and I’m still playing at the top level.”
“I’m not going to say that I’m looking better than him. Which is true.”
Ronaldo said he has been the one who gets blamed for all of United’s failings.
For United to become the title challenger, they need a total rebuild and he did not care even it will start with him.
“You have to destroy it to rebuild it and if they start with me, for me, it’s not a problem. I love Manchester United, I love the fans, they’re always on my side.”
“A club of this size should be at the top, but This is not the case, there are no excuses.”
“I followed my heart. He [Sir Alex Ferguson] said to me, ‘It’s impossible for you to go to Manchester City, and I said, ‘OK, Boss’.”
“Fans for me are everything. This is why I give this interview because I think it’s the right time to speak my mind.”
Additionally, Ronaldo said the most important thing in football is for you to play for fans and they gave me the support I needed even when I go out for a walk in the street They always show me love and they appreciate my football.
” A big club like Manchester United bringing in a sporting director like Rangnick surprised me and the world. This guy is not even a coach.”
“Nothing changed [since I left]. The pool, the jacuzzi, even the gym, and even some technology. Even the chefs who I appreciate, are lovely people. I thought I would see new technology and infrastructure. I saw things I saw when I was 20,21,23.”
