Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has declared that "now is the time" to talk with his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan set to air later this week.
Ronaldo shocked Old Trafford and beyond on Sunday evening when snippets from his chat with Morgan started to emerge on social media. In that interview, the Portugal captain revealed that he thought he had been "betrayed" by United while claiming Erik ten Hag and other key figures behind the scenes "want to force him out".
It has been a headline-driven season for Ronaldo, 37, despite his bit-part role on the pitch. He expressed a desire to leave the club for a second time in the summer, then missed the pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia and, also, refused to come off the bench during a 2-0 win over Tottenham last month.
