The Lusitanian said he felt betrayed by his club and criticized several names in the recent history of the Red Devils (Erik Ten Haag, Ralf Rangnick and Wayne Rooney).

The Premier League Group released a statement saying it would respond once the facts were established.

“Manchester United paid attention to media coverage of Cristiano Ronaldo’s interview.

The club will consider the answer after establishing all the facts.

We are focused on preparing for the second part of the season and maintaining trust between the players, the coach, the staff and the fans.” This is stated in the press release of the club.

Cristiano Ronaldo was fined 1 million pounds

Manchester United are set to fine Cristiano Ronaldo £1 million for his explosive interview with Piers Morgan, according to Metro UK.

In October, Ronaldo was handed a two-week ban for refusing to come on as a substitute against Tottenham after the forward decided to walk through the tunnel to the dressing room for the rest of the game.

This time the Lusitanian would risk “a new fine of around £1 million”. While the group declined to comment on Ronaldo’s interview, it will be viewed with suspicion, especially as Ten Hag spoke of “solidarity” within the club after the win over Fulham.
