I was betrayed – Ronaldo explodes in interview with Piers Morgan

Cristiano Ronaldo has said he felt “betrayed” by top figures at Manchester United.

The Portuguese said he no longer has respect for the club’s head coach Erik ten Hag after enduring a tumultuous season at Old Trafford.

Asked whether he felt he was being forced out of Old Trafford, Ronaldo told Piers Morgan uncensored: “Yes, not only by the coach, but by another two or three guys around the club that I felt betrayed me.

“I shouldn’t say that [they were trying to get rid of me], I don’t know, but yes, I feel betrayed. I felt that some people didn’t want me here not only this year, but last year too.”

Asked about his relationship with Ten Hag, Ronaldo added: “I don’t have respect for him because he doesn’t show respect for me.

“If you don’t have respect for me, I’m never going to have respect for you.”
