Piers Morgan shares Cristiano Ronaldo's true feelings on Man Utd exit after private chat

Piers Morgan reckons that Cristiano Ronaldo will be "happy" after his acrimonious departure from Manchester United was finally confirmed.

The 37-year-old striker's love affair with the Old Trafford club, which saw him score 145 goals and win nine trophies across two separate spells, came to an end in a messy divorce on Tuesday, as a brief statement from United bid him farewell. Having been desperate to leave the Red Devils since handing in a transfer request over the summer, Ronaldo's exit became an inevitability once he'd sat down with Morgan for an explosive, unauthorised interview.

In the astonishing 90-minute chat, the Portuguese megastar took aim at manager Erik ten Hag, owners the Glazer family - who've since put United up for sale - and various other high-profile figures connected to the club, such as Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville. Now that Ronaldo is a free agent after having his £480,000-a-week contract terminated, Morgan has issued his verdict on how the five-time Ballon d'Or winner will be feeling.
