Ronaldo, in the interview with Morgan, had stated that he had no respect for head coach Erik ten Hag and said that people in the club wanted him gone. United ended their association with the player who did not receive his payoff from the club after his exit. Currently a free agent, Ronaldo currently is on national duty for Portugal, who have made their way into the last 16 of the FIFA World Cup 2022 with a 2-0 win over Uruguay in their last group stage match.
