Gary Neville questions Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo over interview claim

Gary Neville has questioned why Cristiano Ronaldo has not spoken his truth after pledging to do so back in August after the heavy defeat by Brentford.

Following the 4-0 loss in the capital, Ronaldo's friend Edu Aguirre expressed his hopes for the Portuguese ace to leave Old Trafford: "I really want Cristiano to leave Manchester because the current scenario in this team is very bad for him, but if he stays, I will cheer fervently to make everything go well as always. Until the 31st [August], the fans will be for him to go to a better team and that can happen, let's wait."

Ronaldo responded: "They [the media] know the truth when they interview in a couple of weeks. The media is telling lies. I have a notebook and in the last few months of the 100 news I made, only 5 were right. Imagine how it is. Stick with that tip."

As we head towards mid-October, Ronaldo has yet to give an interview regarding 'the truth' which he declared he would reveal. Discussing the United forward on Sky Bet's The Overlap, Neville questioned why this was the case.

"I think those in charge at Manchester United genuinely think there isn’t a centre forward at the club at this moment in time who will score more goals than Cristiano Ronaldo," the ex-full-back predicted. "He will be focusing on the World Cup now. He said a couple of weeks before the transfer window ended that: ‘You’ll hear the truth in a couple of weeks.’ Has that even happened yet?"
