Cristiano Ronaldo, a forward for Manchester United, claims that the Glazer family, who own the team, “don’t care about the club” on a sporting level.
After declaring on Talk TV that he felt “betrayed” by the team, Ronaldo made headlines. On Monday night, a different segment of the interview was made public.
He claimed that Manchester is a marketing club that makes money from advertising.
“Manchester will find it challenging to dominate the sport in the next two to three years.”
What will Ronaldo do next?

The attacker from Portugal, who is 37 years old and has just one Premier League goal this year, said: “The Glazers, the club’s owners, don’t care about the team or professional sport.”
Ronaldo continued by saying he had never met the Glazer family, who bought the team in 2005.
Ronaldo’s interview received only one public response from United, which came earlier on Monday “Manchester United takes note of the media coverage of a Cristiano Ronaldo interview. After all of the facts are known, the club will think about its response.
Our attention is still on getting ready for the second half of the season and maintaining the spirit of camaraderie that is developing among the players, coach, staff, and supporters.
The Glazers’ management of the team, which last won a trophy in the Europa League in 2017, has been the subject of numerous fan protests.
Ronaldo, the captain of Portugal, remarked, “The crowd is always right. “They ought to know the reality. The athletes desire the best for the team. I want the club to succeed. I joined Manchester United for this reason, and I adore this team for it.
“There are several factors at the club that prevent Manchester from competing at the highest level, including City, Liverpool, and even now, Arsenal.
“It’s difficult. It’s challenging. It’s challenging.”
Rooney and Neville are not my friends
In the Sunday segment of the interview, Ronaldo was asked if he was upset about Wayne Rooney, a former teammate of his who is now the manager of DC United, criticizing him.
Rooney stated: “perhaps because he terminated his career in his forties. Therefore, I’m continuing to play well. I won’t claim it, even though I do look better than him,”
On Monday, he focused on Gary Neville, a different former United teammate. He recently blanked the Sky Sports analyst and former England right-back.
“It’s difficult to hear that type of criticism and vitriol about other players. Gary Neville is a prime example. They’re not buddies of mine “Ronaldo stated.
“It’s simple to be critical. I have no idea if you work in television and have a position that you must criticize in order to gain greater notoriety.
“They allegedly exploit [my profile] because they are not naive, in my opinion. It’s difficult to hear others who shared the dressing room with you criticize in that manner.”
What occurred just before this?
In the portion of the interview that was previously made public, Ronaldo—who makes £500,000 per week—claims that the club is attempting to get rid of him and that he does not respect manager Erik ten Hag.
Ronaldo scored 118 goals for United between 2003 and 2009, and the club’s fanbase welcomed him back in the summer of 2021. However, he appears to have alienated a big portion of them with this interview, which will be aired in its entirety this week.
He is now a member of the Portugal team traveling to Qatar for the World Cup.
