The only thing truly rotten about Cristiano Ronaldo’s comments in an interview with Piers Morgan is the timing.
For someone who has always picked the moments to intervene on the field to perfection, this is a shocker. No-one cares, Cristiano. On the day the comments came to light, an 18-year-old with luminous talent scored a wonderful winner for Manchester United. That is what fans care about.
Alejandro Garnacho was assisted by a senior player who has always been a model of humility and has come back from serious illness to resume his wonderful career. Christian Eriksen - who scored the first against Fulham - is understated, never boastful and seems to be the complete team player. That is what fans care about.
