A reason he claims for feeling disrespected is that he believes United handled the situation regarding the health of his child Bella and partner Gio poorly. He said: "Exactly, I spoke with the director and president of Manchester United and they kind of didn't believe that something was going wrong, which made me feel bad.
"They believed it but in the same way... I'm never, ever going to change the health of my family for football. Never. Now or 10 years behind or forwards and it's something that really hurt me because they doubt my words that I struggle. Especially Bella (Ronaldo's daughter) and Gio (Ronaldo's partner) - we had one week in hospital because Bella had a big problem.
"And I didn't go to the pre-season because of that. Because I didn't want to leave my family if something happened during pre-season because I think it was not fair to leave my family for preseason. This is why I didn't go."
