Cristiano Ronaldo has brutally critiqued his former Manchester United partner Wayne Rooney, in an all-revealing interview with Piers Morgan.

Ronaldo sat down for what is set to be a highly controversial interview and explained his side of the story on what has been happening at the club.

Not new to making headlines, Ronaldo's feud with Erik ten Hag has been publicly documented. Amidst his row with the manager, famous personalities have also shared their opinion.

Rooney, a Manchester United legend, recently criticised Ronaldo's behaviour for the Red Devils. Those comments seemingly angered Ronaldo.

"I don't know why he criticises me so badly. Probably because he finished his career and I'm still playing at a high level. I'm not going to say that I'm looking better than him. Which is true," Ronaldo said as quoted by the Mirror.

Rooney shared the dressing room with Ronaldo for five seasons, winning multiple Premier League and the Champions League before the latter left for Real Madrid.

Sports Brief has also reported that Cristiano Ronaldo has finally revealed his issues with Manchester United - and more specifically - with Erik ten Hag.

During the transfer window, it was rumoured that Ronaldo wanted to quit the club, but he has now denied the allegations and blamed ten Hag and top club officials for trying to force him out.

In what is now expected to be a clear and complete severance of ties between the two parties, Ronaldo has said he doesn't respect ten Hag.
