“They don’t care about the club, and I mean professional sport. Manchester United is a marketing club. They make their money from marketing. They really don’t care about the sport at all,” Ronaldo was quoted as saying in numerous English media on Tuesday morning, citing the “TalkTV” interview.

I think it will be difficult for United to get to the top in the next two or three years.

When asked about the protests from fans who have been targeting the Glazers for years for these reasons, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner continued: “The fans need to know the truth. You have to know that the players want what is best for the club. I want that, too. That’s why I came back, that’s why I like this club. But there are things going on within the club that don’t see United reaching the highest level such as City, Liverpool and even now Arsenal. It’s complex, it’s difficult. I think it’s going to be difficult for United to get to the top in the next two or three years.”

Is Ronaldo aiming for Man United exit? Interview probably not coordinated with the club

It is assumed that Ronaldo will use the interview, which is to be broadcast in full for the first time on British TV on Wednesday and Thursday, to allow himself a timely departure in winter despite the current contract. “Manchester United takes note of the media coverage of an interview given by Cristiano Ronaldo. The club will review his response once the full facts have been established. Our focus is still on preparing for the second half of the season,” United reacted on Monday afternoon after the first statements were published and kept a low profile.

According to information from the “Times”, the conduct of the interview was not coordinated with the club in advance. Ronaldo also explained his absence in the meantime in preparation for the new season. He said club management didn’t believe him when he was absent in July due to his daughter’s illness. Instead, it was suspected that he was already trying to force a departure from Manchester at this point.

“I spoke to the director and the chairman. They didn’t really think anything was wrong. I felt bad about it. I will and will always put my family’s health ahead of football. It really hurt me because they questioned my words about my concerns. We were in the hospital for a week because Bella had a big problem. That’s why I wasn’t there during the preparations,” said the attacking force.

The group united for a single goal: to make the dream of every Portuguese come true!”
