Manchester United are potentially considering the termination of Cristiano Ronaldo's contract at Old Trafford following his explosive interview with Piers Morgan.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who is currently away with the Portugal squad gearing up for the start of the World Cup, has thrown his United future into serious doubt after hitting out at the club and manager Erik ten Hag during his extensive 90-minute chat with the former Good Morning Britain presenter. United have confirmed that they have 'initiated appropriate steps' and it is understood that they are considering legal action which could result in the sacking of the 37-year-old.
Ronaldo wanted to leave Old Trafford during the summer transfer window and was denied an exit on several occasions, with United regularly reiterating that he was part of new Ten Hag's plans. After missing pre-season as a result of challenging personal circumstances, Ronaldo was back in United's starting line-up as soon as the second game of the season, starting the 4-0 defeat to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.
