Just weeks after his Manchester United exit was confirmed, Cristiano Ronaldo is causing a stir once again - this time, with Portugal at the World Cup.
The 37-year-old veteran has been dogged by controversy in recent months following the disintegration of his relationship with United. After failing to source a move away in the summer, Ronaldo reacted angrily after being handed a bit-part role by new Old Trafford boss Erik ten Hag and slammed the Dutchman in a scathing, unsanctioned interview with Piers Morgan last month.
Unsurprisingly, Ronaldo's bombshell 90-minute chat proved to be the catalyst for his Manchester United departure. But after causing countless issues during the early months of Ten Hag's premiership, the striker's behaviour has now irked Portugal boss Fernando Santos.
