Cristiano Ronaldo has slammed Erik ten Hag's "excuses" and admitted his relationship with the Manchester United boss is "not good".
The Portuguese striker, 37, has let rip at his current club and Ten Hag over their treatment of him this season after accusing them of trying to force him out of Old Trafford. Ronaldo's decision to air his dirty laundry in a tell-all public interview with Piers Morgan looks to have brought the curtain down on his second spell at United in dramatic fashion.
But Ronaldo has pointed the finger of blame at his Dutch coach, who has used him only sparingly in his team this campaign despite the five-time Ballon d'Or winner finishing as United's top scorer last term. Speaking in his interview with Morgan on Talk TV, Ronaldo fumed: "The feeling he [Ten Hag] always mentioned to me, that I didn't need the pre-season so I should wait for my opportunity."
