Cristiano Ronaldo launched a verbal attack on the Al-Nassr coaching staff after the Saudi Arabian outfit headed into the half-time break 1-0 down to Al-Wehda in the King Cup of Champions semi-final.
The 38-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Chelsea in the summer before leaving Manchester United with immediate effect in November.
An explosive TV interview with Piers Morgan proved to be the final straw for Erik ten Hag — and the Red Devils hierarchy. United were said to have been 'furious' after Ronaldo's outburst caught them by surprise, with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner claiming that he felt betrayed.
