The Portuguese star and Manchester United striker, Cristiano Ronaldo, has exploded with very exciting statements, and it seems that things will not be the same again with the Red Devils after the World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo has finally spoken out about his attempts to leave Manchester United and after months of silence he did not hold back. One of the world's most renowned football players, Cristiano Ronaldo in an exclusive interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored TV program said that he felt "betrayed" by Manchester United and that team's top officials including manager Erik ten Hag are trying to force him out of the club. Asked if he felt like they were trying to get rid of him, Ronaldo’s response went as follows. “Honestly I should not say that. I don’t know. I don’t care. People should always listen to the truth. Yes, I feel betrayed and I felt that some people don’t want me here [at Manchester United]. Not only this year but last year too.” He went on to say this about Erik ten Hag: “I don’t have respect for Erik ten Hag because he doesn’t show respect for me,” Ronaldo said. “If you don’t have respect for me, I will never have any for you.” “Since Sir Alex Ferguson left I saw no evolution in the club, the progress was zero,” Ronaldo added. The 37-year-old player said, "I don't have respect for him because he doesn't show respect for me." He added, "Not only has the coach but another two or three guyed around the club. I felt betrayed." Ever since Hag became manager, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has played just a supporting role. 
Ronaldo wants out after the World Cup and the timing of this interview is perfect as he will now go away with Portugal for the next six weeks and he will want his future and a move away from United sorted by the time the January window opens.
