Manchester United takeover bidder Thomas Zilliacus has backed Erik ten Hag's decision to allow Cristiano Ronaldo to leave the Reds in November.
Ronaldo made headlines worldwide last year when he decided to take part in an interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV. What followed was a two-part conversation that saw the Portuguese great criticise Ten Hag, the Glazers, the club and former teammates Gary Neville and Wayne Rooney for their perceived lack of support.
Shortly after the interview aired, Ronaldo and United came to terms on his release meaning the star was the only free agent at the Qatar World Cup. Post-tournament, the 38-year-old signed for Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr.
