Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that he believes Manchester United and manager Erik ten Hag have tried to force him out of the club.
The 37-year-old, who missed Sunday's 2-1 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage through illness, made the admission during an interview with Piers Morgan. Snippets of Morgan's world exclusive with the United ace was released on Sunday evening, just an hour after details of the interview were revealed.
Ronaldo wanted to leave United during the summer transfer window in pursuit of Champions League football but was blocked from leaving by the club, who regularly reiterated that he had a big part to play in new manager Ten Hag's plans. He missed the club's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to 'personal reasons' and has struggled to nail down a place in the team this season.
