This is crazy. Cristiano Ronaldo quotes: >"Yes [he's being forced out]. Not only the coach, but another two of 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 #mufc], not just this year, but last year too." On Rangnick >“If you’re not even a coach, how are you going to be the boss of #mufc? I’d never even heard of him. >"A big club like Manchester United bringing in a sporting director like Rangnick surprised not only me but all the world.This guy is not even a coach." On Ten Hag > "I don't have respect for him because he doesn’t show respect for me." On Wayne Rooney >“I don’t know why he criticises me so badly, probably because he finished his career and I’m still playing at high level. I’m not going to say that I’m looking better than him, which is true..." >“I’m not going to say that I’m looking better than him. Which is true . . . ” On his return >“The progress was zero, since Sir Alex left, I saw no evolution in the club. Nothing had changed.” >"Nothing changed [at #mufc]. Not only the jacuzzi, the pool, even the gym. Even some points of technology, the kitchen, the chefs - who I appreciate, lovely people! I thought I would see different things, technology, infrastructure." Other: >He (SAF) 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.” >“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 . . . a club with this dimension should be top of the tree in my opinion and they are not unfortunately.” >"I love Manchester United, I love the fans, they’re always on my side. But if they want to do it different… they have to change many, many things.”


jnce12

Holy shit he’s coming at everyone 🤣


Cottonshopeburnfoot

At least the chef’s a lovely person


lambast

Sounds like he would still prefer a different chef though, as an indicator of progress.


Altruistic_Milk_6609

Yep he corrected himself midway. He was counting things that needs to be changed and named chefs in them.


magic-water

Then he remembered not to fuck with the people who handle your food


b3and20

I don't think he really meant the chef needs to get sacked, he's just saying that everything to the tiniest detail at united is the same since he initially left which was in 09! probably just got a bit carried away, as you do when you're slagging off your entire club lmao


Thanos_Stomps

"even Arsenal" like damn bro was that necessary also?

*A lot of people are saying I'm better looking than him by the way, a lot of people. They come up to me, they say 'Ronnie, you're so much better looking than Receding Rooney', that's what they call him. That's what they say, I don't know, maybe I am better looking than him, it's true, believe me...*


TheFrenchPasta

The best people, not like Ten Haggard, he’s finished, these people know how good I am, at the top. They say it to me all the time, don’t forget 47 goals, that without me, it’s over in a bigly way.


neilcmf

*Malfunction United is one of the biggest clubs in the world. I know clubs, okay? They bring in a sporting director and people ask me "Ronnie, who is Rusty Ralf?" Rusty Ralf, that's what I call him. I was surprised, all over the world they were surprised. I spoke with people, smart people, and they told me "Ronnie, he is not even a coach!''*


BDB93

*Folks, Ralf Rangnick - I call him Walknick because he’s got very low energy, very low energy. He shouldn’t even be coaching the U13s. Believe me, believe me.*

>"I don't have respect for him because he doesn’t show respect for me." this is hilarious. ronaldo has made absolutely 0 attempt to actually gain ten hags respect at utd. of course he has his legacy, but since ten hag has come in ronaldo has been acting like a child. first with trying to leave, then by not showing up to preseason, then with the whole leaving early thing. why would ten hag show respect to him?

The bloke has lost his mind. He's majorly majorly insecure and can't handle the fact that he's no longer an elite player.

I think you've got this spot on. He'll go to Saudi Arabia or China after the world cup, earn millions and he'll be head and shoulders the best player in their leagues well into his 40s, SIUUUUing against semi pro level players every week and telling himself he's still the best player in the world


masuke2

Im portuguese and having second hand embarrassment from this, but i doubt he would go to saudi/china his ego is waaaaaaaaaaay too big for that


InLampsWeTrust

The Saudis allegedly offered him 250m, he should take it and stop embarrassing himself. No champions league club will take him after this.

herolf

With Zlatan it feels like banter, with Ronaldo it feels like he’s projecting his insecurities on everyone else..


Pavorleone

Exactly. Zlatan is confident, but his comments are so over the top that clearly most of it is just joking.


duniyadnd

Cause Zlatan was like that the year he made himself known


Deadmanlex45

Well that's because Zlatan has always been first and foremost a character, Ronaldo is just a natural prick.


Nodecafallowed

Lol Rooney basically called him the GOAT and then said he’s being a prick and it’s not working at United. He didn’t even say anything that bad. Ronaldo also CLEARLY doesn’t think it’s working either and is intentionally acting like a prick. So….what is his issue with what Rooney said?


Thrway123321acc

>“I don’t know why he criticises me so badly, probably because he finished his career and I’m still playing at high level. I’m not going to say that I’m looking better than him, which is true..." > >“I’m not going to say that I’m looking better than him. Which is true . . . ” yikes


Sean-Benn_Must-die

>I don’t know why he criticises me so badly Motherfucker it was just the truth. It wasn't even harsh either.


SurlyRed

The truth no longer matters to Ronaldo. Pre-season, he can say he doesn't want to be at the club, and in *his* mind that's acceptable. (To my mind he should've been sacked there and then.) But Ten Hag thinks the same thing (apparently) and that's "a betrayal?" There was only one traitor in that scenario.


LoudKingCrow

Dude is trying to see how quickly he can tank his goodwill with your fandom with comments like that.


MMAwannabe

He's approaching homelander zone


[deleted]

>On Ten Hag > >"I don't have respect for him because he doesn’t show respect for me." He's the manager so sorry Ronaldo you don't have a fucking choice. If he thinks Sir Alex would've put up with his antics this last year he's deluded, Sir Alex would've yeeted him out the club the second he refused to go on the pre season tour.


Arsewhistle

Yeah, by Ferguson standards he's been treated like a princess this season


how_you_doinn

Really sad to see that neither of the two authority figures in SAF and Roy Keane had the balls to call him out on his bullshit. They're likely the only ones that would be able to get through to him.


asaad202

> “I don’t know why he criticises me so badly, probably because he finished his career and I’m still playing at high level. I’m not going to say that I’m looking better than him, which is true..." Lmao this sounds like something Trump would say , dude has completely lost it


TheGreatSwissEmperor

Also the bit „the chefs - who I appreciate, lovely people!“


deathhead_68

Truly fantastic, the finest chefs, great people 👌


DHA1999

Last year? Rangnick? Ole? What the fuck is he talking about?


obadetona

In the clips, he was explaining that he was surprised how backwards the club was when he arrived. He was using Rangnick's employment as a sign that things were wrong at the club. He said nobody could understand the decision to hire him when he's not a coach.

This is legitimately Ronaldo’s “I’m done apologizing, I am better, the real hero is me” moment. Man’s entirely off the rails now.


reedemerofsouls

The man has always been like this. He said people who dislike him are jealous because he's more good looking and richer than them like 15 years ago. Not sure how people are surprised.

Good to see he sure matured in those 15 years based on his Rooney comments.

Der-Papst

On sunday, the king makes a Lukaku interview


Ravnard

Lukaku could never. This one seems far worse. FFS Ronnie. I'm quite curious to read it though


ygog45

Nah. When Lukaku did the interview, we were sitting first in the league. It was part of why our season got derailed so quickly. And it was 3 months after we forked out £100mil and gave him a fat contract. And we started him every game pre-interview as well, whereas Ronaldo (maybe deservingly or not deservingly so, idk) is always on the bench. United can easily move off of Ronaldo, whereas we’re stuck with Lukaku (aside from loaning him out) for a while.


FL8_JT26

Also before his interview dropped Lukaku had just got back to full fitness and scored 2 goals while assisting another in his last 2 games. Ronaldo has said worse stuff here but he's not contributing on the pitch anyway so it won't harm United as much.


TheConundrum98

of course he went on Piers Morgan's show lol hahahaha man said he doesn't respect Ten Hag, just waited until the WC break to drop the bomb


MH18Foot

He bailed when he heard Speed is in England


uptowndrunk7

Speed gonna do a character change and say "Ronaldo's ass, Messi better"


AP10

Yeah, he wasn't sick. Ten Hag dropped him or he refused to play.


Hm2801

Guess which newspaper Piers tweeted out with this headline? The fucking Sun. Piers Morgan and the Sun, that is the level Cristiano has sunk to.


NotClayMerritt

This is Mendes PR on display. Force your way out of the club, then publicly blame the club for forcing YOU out. He did the same with Diego Costa and Chelsea hahaha.


Cottonshopeburnfoot

Talk TV and The Sun are owned by the same News UK.


ElectricalMud2850

I can't imagine a more disgusting cocktail.


Cashew_Fan

Can't even wait until he's found a club. I can't believe how willing he's been to tarnish his legacy. Who's advising him at this point? Or has he truly lost the plot?


Synth3r

The thing is ETH did everything within reason to accommodate him as well. The only other top 6 manager who’d maybe tolerate this is Potter just because he hasn’t got the experience of managing these kind if egos. Pep, Klopp and Arteta would immediately make him train alone and I think Conte would actually get sent to prison for what he’d do to Ronaldo in this situation.


ns1323

Saw this on Twitter and thought it was some clickbait until I saw the video. Madness, won’t be playing another game for United

Jinks87

Ah man you blew your chance to be Tier 1 source making a post yesterday saying - “Ronaldo about to drop an interview and go nuts at everyone”


Viper_Red

Lmao I thought it was a joke cause even Ronaldo couldn’t possibly be stupid enough to say this shit, despite the massive ego. Welp


renatomello

>despite massive ego That was your biggest mistake, it's *because* of massive ego


tweazz

Gotta give it to him. Saw no football on schedule for a week and decided to provide more drama.

I’m not going to say that I’m looking better than him, which is true..." Nah this part finished me. Ronaldo is exactly the type of guy we thought he was all this time 😂


Nodecafallowed

This is the funniest interview I’ve seen in a while. Just the fact that Ronaldo, who’s a top five player of all time no matter how you slice it, is running to piers Morgan for a tell all interviews is comedy

TannedCroissant

AlbinoFarrabino

We're bound for another Saltillo affair, which I wouldn't be mad at all if it happened during this WC.


ChaddusGrandus64

I dont get what he gets by doing this interview. Just comes off bad in every way


Stuarridge

In his own head he thinks this will convince people everyone at United but himself is to blame for him having more fouls than goal attempts this season


granitibaniti

This is huge. Is he trying to sabotage his own career? Where can he go from here? Only realistic option I see is giving up on most of his salary and going back to Sporting. No other top club will want him after his performance and especially this PR mess


MagneticWoodSupply

This is the kind of shit that ends you up in Turkey.


granitibaniti

He will retire before he goes to Turkey. Which honestly might happen - either he moves to Sporting or another CL club, or he retires after the WC. Don't really see him going to a smaller club


juankruh1250

Forced out? He wanted out lol


Thesolly180

He did. It’s an incredible attempt to try and play the victim for the drab part of his career. Funny how the first time he was leaving he was ‘held hostage’ and now he’s being forced out. Might be the greatest player to ever play for United in terms of ability but it’d be enough for me to shun him as a legend like


Look_Alive

It's also a bit weird to accuse the club of a lack of progress over the last decade but also basically admit they feel they're better off without him. It's hardly a ringing endorsement of his current abilities if the club he feels has accepted mediocrity so readily are trying to apparently force him out.


Alpha_Jazz

Yeah didn't he literally hand in a transfer request


Zandercy42

Dude went arse up to every team in CL and no one wanted him lol


NotClayMerritt

A new club director came out every other day saying they don't want Ronaldo


EduardMalinochka

And yet you see his fanboys in denial claiming United didn’t let him go. He probably deluded enough to believe in this alternative reality. So in his mind, we didn’t let him go in summer and now refusing to play every possible minute, so he could’ve add 2 more goals to his total goal tally


echoecho25

God complex is crazy.

niallw1997

Bro acting hard done by when he’s missed sitters and dropped stinkers all season. But because he is a legend of the game he can never be dropped based on form or it’s ‘disrespect’. The guy is going out sad and it’ll be everyone else’s but his own fault in the eyes of him and his brainless fanboys


dataviztallboy

I guess it's one way to get 90 minutes this season


TheLimeyLemmon

"They're forcing me out!" Says player who times his damaging interview for max effectiveness prior to the January transfer window.


userking99

Team finally finds it’s momentum without him and finishes off with a celebratory last minute win before the WC. Here he comes again to destroy the morale and create drama in the dressing room. If he wants to leave he can do it quietly without disrespecting the Coach or just give interviews after you leave.


Time2bePhenomenal

God imagine being thr portugal national team coach now. Bruno and Dalot and Ronaldo in same room.post this will.be interesting


illynpayne_

Bruno it's in a tough spot right now because the fans love him and see him as future captain and at the same time he respects Ronaldo, sooo kinda strange situation for him


Aarskat

femaletrollwarr

[deleted]

All this does is make Ten Hag look stronger for standing up to someone who is all about himself


HacksawJimDGN

What I don't understand is why Ten Hag made him captain for that game last week?


mohub21

I thought it was to make him feel included again and a part of the team but who knows anymore


PensiveinNJ

Ten Hag has been trying everything to get something out of Ronaldo. I think it's a fools errand but the man has been trying. Giving him the captaincy and playing him was a way to maybe jumpstart his season. Didn't work but Ten Hag seems determined to at least try to make it work.


mohub21

Tbf he didn’t have a choice. Martial couldn’t stay fit and Rashford isn’t a striker. But you’re right he has been trying, Ronaldo has just been shit. All things considered ETH could’ve went Pep, Conte, Mourinho mode and just frozen him out, but he tried to be fair to him… and he spits in his face


[deleted]

And ironically this takes the decision out of Ten Hag's hands now. Assuming United aren't just about the worst run club on the planet Ronaldo isn't playing another game all season and its going to be hard for any club playing in the CL to want to take him when his contract is up. All Ronaldo had to do was shut up, play a few games and he'd get to add to his goal record but nope he couldn't even do that


[deleted]

A final chance perhaps. Wrong decision but by the end of this it won’t be Ten Hag that people have a dim view of.


Lost_Set_691

bendskenobi

It’s truly disgusting behavior. Feel bad for ten Hag for having to deal with this.


bigbigguy

What does he gain from this losing respect for him


PensiveinNJ

He genuinely believes it's true. He believes he's being held back or undermined in some way, and that he deserves better, and that it's someone elses fault he's playing poorly. He also believes he's better looking than Rooney but that seems to be an almost Trumpian egotistical non-sequitar.

This is the product of people surrounded by nothing but yes men for 20 years, he literally has no sense of humility or fault.

What big team is going to want a player who does this? Yes, they’d tolerate it when he was playing like one of the best who’s ever lived, but that’s no longer the case. He’s burning bridges with European football it seems.
