Clubs fans have expressed concerns over the inside situation at the club, especially due to returning Cristiano Ronaldo's comments back in November 2022.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner criticised the club for what he described as outdated facilities, saying everything remained the same after more than a decade.

The Portuguese forward pulled no punches towards the Premier League club during his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV.

He returned to Old Trafford after 12 years, only to see familiar facilities at the renowned football club. Ronaldo said:

1. Nothing changed, surprisingly. Not only the pool, the jacuzzi, and even the gym. Even the kitchen, the chefs, whom I appreciate -- lovely people.

2. I thought I would see other things, technologies and infrastructure.
