Cristiano Ronaldo deserved a grand farewell from Manchester United - despite his explosive interview which targeted the club.
That’s the view of former Red Devils skipper Antonio Valencia, who admits that the whole saga left him feeling “awful” about his old club. Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford to much fanfare, but after less than 18 months, his relationship with the hierarchy had been damaged beyond repair, with his contract mutually terminated.
That came after months of sniping and leaks from both sides which culminated in his tell-all chat with Piers Morgan before the start of the World Cup. In the two-part interview Ronaldo levelled accusations about several facets of the club’s running, including recently appointed manager Erik ten Hag.
