"Ronaldo accuses Manchester United of betrayal"

" Ronaldo accuses Manchester United of betrayal \r\n\r\nManchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo says that the club have betrayed him and that he is being forced out, while he has no respect for manager Erik ten Hag.\r\n\r\nRonaldo rejoined United from Juventus for a second spell at Old Trafford in August 2021 on a two-year deal, returning to the club where he won eight major trophies from 2003-2009.\r\n\r\nIn an interview with Piers Morgan for TalkTV, released on Sunday, Ronaldo was asked whether United's hierarchy were trying to push him out of the club.\r\n\r\n\"Yes, not only the coach (Ten Hag), but another two or three guys around the club. I felt betrayed,\" he said.\r\n\r\n\"Yes I feel betrayed, and I felt some people don't want me here, not just this year, but last year too.\"\r\n\r\n\"I feel betrayed.\"\r\n\r\nLast month, Ten Hag said Ronaldo refused to come on as a substitute against Tottenham Hotspur when the forward walked down the tunnel with a few minutes of the match remaining after being left on the bench.\r\n\r\nHe was then not part of the squad that faced Chelsea the following Saturday.\r\n\r\nThe 37-year-old forward, who will captain Portugal at the World Cup in Qatar, said of Ten Hag: \"I don\u2019t have respect for him because he doesn\u2019t show respect for me. If you don\u2019t respect me, I\u2019m never gonna have respect for you.\"\r\n\r\nUnited did not immediately respond when contacted by Reuters for comment. After the Tottenham game, Ten Hag said that Ronaldo remained \"an important player in the squad\".\r\n\r\nRonaldo said Manchester United did not support him when his daughter was taken to hospital in July. He said the club doubted him and showed a lack of empathy when he did not arrive on time for pre-season training.\r\n\r\n\u201cI think the fans should know the truth,\u201d he said.\r\n\r\n\u201cI want the best for the club. This is why I came to Manchester United.\r\n\r\n\u201cBut you have some things inside that don\u2019t help (us) reach the top level as City, Liverpool and even now Arsenal... a club with this dimension should be top of the tree in my opinion and they are not, unfortunately.\u201d\r\n\r\nRonaldo's first spell was under former United manager Alex Ferguson, who retired in 2013. The Portuguese said his view of the club is shared by Ferguson.\r\n\r\n\"The progress was zero since Sir Alex (Ferguson) left, I saw no evolution in the club. Nothing had changed,\" Ronaldo said.\r\n\r\n\"He knows better than anybody that the club is not on the path they deserve to be.\r\n\r\n\"He knows. Everyone knows. The people who don\u2019t see that\u2026 it\u2019s because they don\u2019t want to see, they are blind.\"\r\n\r\nRonaldo was also critical of the club's decision last season to replace manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a former teammate of the Portuguese, with Ralf Rangnick.\r\n\r\nRangnick had left his role as head of sport and development at Russian side Lokomotiv Moscow to take over at Old Trafford.\r\n\r\n\"After the club sacked Ole, they bring sporting director Ralf Rangnick, which is something nobody understands,\" Ronaldo said.\r\n\r\n\"This guy, he is not even a coach. A big club like Manchester United brings a sporting director surprised not only me but all the world.\""
