Rio Ferdinand has referenced the Manchester United endings experienced by the likes of Roy Keane and David Beckham as he dissected Cristiano Ronaldo 's latest major move.
The Portuguese star has, once again, grabbed the headlines after revealing all in an interview with Piers Morgan. Ronaldo, who wanted to leave Manchester in the summer, has been used sporadically by Erik ten Hag and has slammed the manager as well as other individuals associated with the Red Devils.
Ferdinand, a former team-mate of Ronaldo's, has long defended the forward, but recalled how four previous United stalwarts committed far lesser offences, but were shown the door having appeared to undermine the manager's authority - and expects Ronaldo to suffer the same fate.
