What happened?

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Cristiano Ronaldo has finally revealed his issues with Manchester United and, more specifically, Head Coach Erik ten Hag.

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

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

Club to hold talks

Sports Brief has also reported that Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to be punished by Manchester United following a scathing interview on Sunday night with Piers Morgan.

Ronaldo made some serious revelations about Erik ten Hag, Wayne Rooney, Ralf Rangnick and the club, saying the club betrayed him after returning to Old Trafford.

Ronaldo sat down with controversial journalist Piers Morgan on Sunday, 13 November, and he had quite a lot to say about several topics, exasperating many Manchester United fans.
