Ronaldo's "fiery" statements explode the anger of his colleagues at Man United

 A number of Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo's colleagues at Manchester United expressed their dissatisfaction with the statements made by the "Don" in an interview with the famous British journalist Piers Morgan. And according to Sky Sports, the English club learned of Ronaldo's meeting after the "Red Devils" beat Fulham, Sunday, 2-1.

And according to the Sports News Network, Ronaldo's colleagues felt that the Portuguese star did not respect the club and its coach, Eric Ten Hag, after some excerpts from the "fiery" interview were leaked. Players also indicated that the reason for Ronaldo's participation in such an interview is "not understood," especially since the goal was to "discredit the club," as they said.

And Sky Sports quoted players in the English club as saying that Ronaldo was always treated with respect, even after he asked to leave Old Trafford and refused to play as a substitute against Tottenham. What greatly upset Ronaldo's colleagues was that the latter informed the club, on Thursday, that he would not travel to attend his club's match with Fulham because he was "sick," while he was preparing for the interview.

What did Ronaldo say in his statements?

In his interview with journalist Piers Morgan, Ronaldo considered that the club's management "betrayed" him by trying to force him to leave last summer, stressing that he "does not respect" Ten Hag because the latter did not show him respect, as he put it.

Ronaldo stressed that the club had made "zero progress" since the departure of its historic coach, Alex Ferguson, in the summer of 2013, when "Sir" decided to retire from coaching.

Among the most prominent statements of Ronaldo in the interview:

Yes, they were trying to force me to leave. Not only the coach but also two or three people around the club. I felt betrayed.

How can a club like Manchester United sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. They brought in a sporting director, Ralf Rangnick, in an incomprehensible manner. This guy is not a coach. A big club like Manchester United hired a sporting director as a coach, which not only surprised me, but also surprised the world.

- I thought I would see different things (when back at the club), technology, infrastructure. Unfortunately we see things that I used to see when I was 21, 22 and 23 years old. This surprised me a lot.

- Ten Hag was not spared from Ronaldo's criticism, who continued his attack, saying: "I have no respect for him because he did not show me respect."
