Harmony was well and truly restored to the Manchester United dressing room when Cristiano Ronaldo hosted Piers Morgan for his therapeutic ego trip in early November.
Ronaldo did not get a pay-off and his interview has paid off for United, undeniably a better team this season without one of their greatest players before and after he filed for divorce on Talk TV.
No right-minded football follower cares what Ronaldo is up to in an oppressive country where 81 people were beheaded in a single day less than a year ago. One of the great competitive careers in sport is over.
