Manchester United defender Raphael Varane has admitted that he and his teammates have been "affected" by Cristiano Ronaldo's recent incendiary comments.
Ronaldo is desperately seeking an exit from Old Trafford following his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan, in which he accused United of betrayal and trying to force him out. The Red Devils may be in a position to tear up the superstar's contract if they are advised under employment law that his behaviour is a serious enough breach of discipline.
The Portuguese superstar is hoping to engineer an exit during the January transfer window but a number of clubs have distanced themselves from the player. Paris Saint-Germain have ruled themselves out alongside a similar stance from Bayern Munich. Even Ronaldo's former club Sporting Lisbon have poured cold water on an approach.
