Turns out that the infamous Romelu Lukaku interview with Sky Italia wasn't all that bad. Certainly not when compared to the self-centred condemnation of Manchester United delivered by club legend and supposedly proud owner of the famous No.7 shirt Cristiano Ronaldo.
In an unauthorised 90-minute interview with Piers Morgan that was broadcast in two parts last Wednesday and Thursday, Ronaldo claimed he has been betrayed by "some people" at Old Trafford, that he had no respect for United head coach Erik ten Hag, that the club are stuck in the past, and that criticism of his recent behaviour by former teammate Wayne Rooney was born out of jealousy.
There were also scathing comments over the decision to appoint Ralf Rangnick as interim head coach last season after the departure of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. "This surprised not only me but also all the world," said Ronaldo. "If you're not even a coach, how are you going to be the boss of Manchester United? I'd never even heard of him."
