‘I don’t have respect for him [Erik ten Hag] because he doesn’t show respect for me,’ said Ronaldo.

‘Some people, they don’t want me here – not only the coach but the other two or three guys. Not only this year, but last year too.

‘Honestly, I shouldn’t say that. But listen, I don’t care. People should listen to the truth. Yes, I feel betrayed.’ 

Responding to these declarations, MU board said the will will wait to watch the remainder of the interview which will be released on Wednesday and Thursday before taking action.
