Dwight Yorke says Cristiano Ronaldo unloaded his true dissatisfaction with the direction Manchester United was going in during a 30-minute chat they had at the end of last season, and added that the attacker had laid out certain demands for incoming boss Erik ten Hag.
He detailed how the striker admitted he was “unhappy” at the club, which later led Yorke to surmise that the superstar felt he should have led the team amid Harry Maguire’s axing from the starting XI.
The Treble-winning striker said it resulted in a situation that was a “ticking time bomb just ready to explode." He said he wasn’t surprised by the noisy exit of Ronaldo, who declared he has no respect for Ten Hag during his infamous interview with Piers Morgan.
