Cristiano Ronaldo has made the headlines once again for his latest comments on Manchester United. The 37-year-old United star also lashed out at Erik ten Hag and the club’s management. Ronaldo is in his 2nd season with the United since joining them in 2021. However, after just one season, it was reported that the player wanted out of the club. Ten Hag, reportedly, didn’t have Ronaldo in his plans and that has led to a messy situation within the club. In his latest interview, Ronaldo also took a jibe at his former United teammate, Wayne Rooney.

Cristiano Ronaldo spent six seasons with the Red Devils in his first stint with the club. Wayne Rooney joined United a year after Ronaldo’s arrival. The two got along well and won several trophies with the club. However, their relationship hasn’t been the same now. Rooney recently called Ronaldo a ‘distraction’ and claimed his actions ‘unacceptable’. Ronaldo got back at him in a recent interview with Piers Morgan.

“I don’t know why he criticizes me so badly, probably because he finished his career and I’m still playing at high level,” Ronaldo told Piers Morgan. “I’m not going to say that, I’m looking better than him, which is true.”
