It's going to be fascinating to see whether Cristiano Ronaldo's explosive interview really will ruin his legacy at Manchester United.
For some, he will always be remembered as the boy who arrived as a teenager and left as the best player on the planet. 145 goals in 346 appearances, three Premier League titles, a Champions League triumph, and a handful of domestic cups too.
For others, he will be recalled as the self-indulgent striker whose pursuit of personal interests not only built his reputation in the game but brought it crashing down as well. A player who used to do his talking on the pitch has now reduced himself to doing it in interviews.
