Jamie Carragher has tweeted to say that the “one per cent” of people who will support Cristiano Ronaldo after Sunday’s extraordinary outburst will include ex-Manchester United trio Roy Keane, Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra.
The attacker dropped massive bombshells during an interview with Piers Morgan, during which he said he felt “betrayed” and was being “forced out” of the club.
No more than a week after being handed the captain’s armband for the dismal loss away to Aston Villa, the 37-year-old claimed several people at the club want to get rid of him. The interview comes after a catalogue of indiscretions which include trying to force a summer exit after deeming the team unlikely to win a trophy, and leaving Old Trafford early on two occasions during games early under Ten Hag’s reign.
