Ronaldo opened up on the tensions bubbling beneath the surface since his return to Manchester United:
“Yes, I felt betrayed. Not just by the coach, but by two or three other guys around the club. I felt some people didn’t want me here, not just this year, but last year too.”
He didn’t mince words when it came to manager Erik ten Hag:
“I don’t have respect for him because he doesn’t show respect for me. If you don’t respect me, I will never have respect for you.”
Club in Decline? Ronaldo Thinks So
In a harsh assessment of United’s internal structure and ambition, Ronaldo said:
“Since Sir Alex left, I saw no evolution in the club. Nothing had changed.”
“A club with this dimension should be at the top, but they are not. Unfortunately.”
He even ridiculed the appointment of Ralf Rangnick:
“A big club like Manchester United bringing in a sporting director like Rangnick… this guy is not even a coach.”

Ronaldo to Rooney | “I’m still playing. He’s Not.”
Cristiano didn’t hold back when addressing criticism from his former teammate, Wayne Rooney:
“I don’t know why he criticizes me so much… maybe because he’s finished and I’m still playing at the top level.”
“I’m not going to say I look better than him. Which is true.”

Still Loves United | But Calls for Massive Changes
Despite the tensions, Ronaldo insists his heart still beats for the club:
“I love Manchester United. I love the fans. They’re always on my side. But to reach the level of City, Liverpool, or even Arsenal now, things have to change, big time.”
He added:
“Sir Alex knows it. He told me, ‘You can’t go to Manchester City.’ I said, ‘OK, boss.’ I followed my heart.”
