Cristiano Ronaldo draws the same conclusion as Louis van Gaal and receives an ice-cold reception at Portugal | Foreign football

Cristiano Ronaldo also does not mince words in the second part of his much-discussed interview. Where Erik ten Hag, among others, had to pay for it in part one, it is now the owners and directors of Manchester United who are under fire. The riot does not seem to go well with teammate Bruno Fernandes.

Ronaldo, who is trying to force his way out of United with the interview on Talk-TV, does not have a good word for the Glazer family. According to the Portuguese, the American owners of the club have nothing to do with football. ,,They don’t care about the club, and I mean professional sport. Manchester United is a marketing club. They make money from marketing. In my opinion, they don’t care about the sport at all,” said Ronaldo, repeating Louis van Gaal. The national coach of Orange used similar words when he discussed the possible appointment of Erik ten Hag at the fallen top club at the time.

The day-to-day management of United cannot escape the sneers of the number seven either. According to him, things went wrong during the preparation, when his daughter fell ill. “I talked about it with the director and the chairman. I don’t think they really believed that anything was really going on. I felt bad about that. I will always put the health of my family above football.”

“It really hurt me, because they doubted whether I was really worried,” says Ronaldo, who missed the preparation for the season. “We were in hospital for a week because Bella had a big problem That’s why I wasn’t there.”

Bruno Fernandes

Meanwhile, images of Ronaldo’s first day in Portugal’s training camp are going around the world. Bruno Fernandes, also a Manchester United player, does not seem too excited to see his mutinous teammate in the dressing room. There is a limp hand, but there is hardly any eye contact. That seems to surprise Ronaldo somewhat.

Check out the striking images below:


The full second part of the 90 minute long interview will be broadcast tonight.
