Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has claimed a lack of “communication” from the Red Devils has forced Cristiano Ronaldo ’s hand in an impassioned argument with Jamie Carragher.
The Portuguese forward dropped a huge bombshell on Sunday evening having taken part in a shocking interview with Piers Morgan, stating that he had been “betrayed” by senior figures at Old Trafford and did not respect manager Erik ten Hag. Since those revelations, a number of former players have been reacting - ex-Red Devils defender Ferdinand having been among those.
The now 44-year-old attempted to give a reason to the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s actions in a passionate discussion with ex-Liverpool star Carragher on his Vibe with Five Podcast. He has claimed that the communication from Old Trafford may have forced Ronaldo to act in the way that he has, something that Carragher was not left particularly convinced with.
