Ronaldo's interview with popular and controversial media personality Piers Morgan dropped on Sunday, and the details left many Man United fans angry, especially the criticism of Erik ten Hag.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner also took a direct swipe at his former teammate Wayne Rooney, ex-United interim manager Ralf Rangnick and the club itself. The interview came out after United's narrow 2-1 win at Fulham, according to the BBC.

Fernandes and Ronaldo's awkward moment

Fernandes appeared to have been angry with Ronaldo after the interview, after the attacking midfielder offered Ronaldo a somewhat hostile handshake.

In a video that has gone viral, Ronaldo tries to greet Fernandes. Although the 28-year-old star accepts, the ex-Real Madrid star was astounded by Bruno's inhospitable demeanor, according to the Daily Mail.

However, there is more to the video than meets the eye, but it certainly shows that Ronaldo's interview may have made a bad impression on Man United teammates.

During the interview, Ronaldo said he felt betrayed by the club, adding Erik ten Hag and some forces inside the club were trying to force him out, according to Sky Sports.

"People should hear the truth. Yes, I feel betrayed. Some people don't want me here not only this year, but last year too."

Ronaldo lays into Ten Hag

Sports Brief earlier reported on Ronaldo verbally attacking his manager Erik ten Hag, in a now infamous interview.

Ronaldo went on record and insisted he does not respect ten Hag, in the wake of recent altercations with the former Ajax manager.

Ronaldo's behaviour, the fallout with the manager, and his recent comments will surely see CR7 leave the club soon.
