Because he's mad he's still here and he's mad he's not a starter. It's very obvious. Ronaldo is completely self-serving. It's all a bit complicated anyway because although I believe something was going on with his daughter it still doesn't mean he can use that time to try to engineer a move away and then expect no one at the club to have an opinion about it.
Cristiano Ronaldo: Set to leave by mutual agreement

He has never been in this position before.
Also his track record shows he has a massive ego and is prone to cnutish behavior.
To top it all that idiot Piers 'Arsenal' Morgan says that Ronaldo left the ground when United were losing to Tottenham!!
United were winning 2-0.
United were winning 2-0.
I find the idea that people not only accept but agree with his alleged statement about the facilities, baffling. Unless the man is blind and can't see that he is in a revamped dressing room at carrington and Old Trafford or that there are litteral new buildings that were there in 2009, there is no way to explain his claims.
As I mentioned on here last year, my few week old daughter ended up in intensive care with RS, was absolutely horrendous, but like feck I’d use that in an truly fecking cringeworthy and transparent egomaniac self serving interview.
Yeah he sure put on a brave face, what a soldier.
They are amongst the most creative fanbase when it comes to nicknames for opposition players. Poobag and Camel Gob being other examplesSomebody on RAWK called him Ronald Trump
I think the timing of this interview is awful and I want to here the rest of it first but on paper nothing he has said was wrong
The only question mark is the ETH comments but common law is their is a cause and effect for everything and he could have said anyone else didn’t have compassion for his ill baby but he only said one name. Their HAS to be a legitimate reason for that.
Why did you respond he said in the post that was what he wanted.
The view has to be based on something tangible. Your's isn't though. It's just contrarian for contrarian sake.
Plenty of fans and pundits supported him and (incredibly) support him still. The nature of being a top footballer and being paid top dosh, is that people will talk about you. Some good, some bad. But scapegoat, he was not made to be. Because a scapegoat takes the blame and the punishment that comes with it. Who, in position of power or in the team, scapegoated him? How? Pundits and guys called @name12873172 on twitter aren't exactly relevant, eh. Talking shite, is what they do.
The "false rumours" that he was angling for a move to a CL club, came out form every single reputable transfer information source. Hardly false. Some particular links would certainly have been false, but not the fact that he was pushing for a move. It was literally everywhere. And also, how is that the fault of the club?
We'll see, I guess. He got given leave of absence to be with his family all pre-season, doesn't exactly strike as uncaring. The reason could very well be a player who's wantaway and using anything to blame the club in order to engineer a move. Not like Ronaldo hasn't done such things before.
Fans hated Mourinho for the shite, defensive football and for unnecessarily courting media drama and toxicity in almost every media interview. Not for his honesty.
All I see is conjecture about the ways the club has disrespected him or done him wrong. No acknowledgment of the many ways in which he clearly and visibly disrespected the club, the team and the manager.
These same comments only further prove his point.
You might as well say “feck his daughter” while your at it.
The legitimate reason is he wants out of the club.
Euro 2024 when he's 40 years old, still starting over players better than him because of his ego and destroying your talented national team please stay with the same energy.
You're blinded by your love for the guy that you can't admit that he's finished at a high level, let's see what he does in the world cup, only a matter of time till Portugal fans turn on him as well.
I can't watch those spanners. Both contemptable in their own right.“Big enough ego to choke a horse”
First time Graeme Souness says something not 100% braindead.
Wow, this thread is toxic.
I understand your stance.
I think you’ll do well to find any ex players or peers of Ten Hag saying he lacks compassion though. He’s very well thought of and even the rest of the squad now seem very positive about him.
Something is a bit off somewhere, I agree.
Jorge Mendes working overtime i see.
New woman’s facilities too, new manager facilities, restaurants were all refurbished last Summer also. But hey, Chef Pete is still working there, which is obviously horrendous stuff for a top club who should change chefs every week.
My sympathies, bro. Wishing him/her speedy and long-lasting health.
Without being tasteless and unsympathetic unfortunate as it is babies die and we as parents have to deal with the process. I am positive the club gave him time off and I would like to think never forced him back to play. I'm not sure what an employer can do to help a member of staff when a loved one dies besides giving the family time off to grieve and bereavement support.
I always hear comments from footballers and staff about United being a family club and treating its staff on that basis.
I'm a bit lost when it comes to his lost child. The club allowed him to take a break when it happened and his poor behavior started way before April 2022.
Whenever it becomes a topic, I'm completely lost.

Hopefully this whole episode is a harsh lesson to the higher ups who seem insistent on holding onto players who want to leave until the situation becomes untenable.
If anybody tries to tell me we wanted Ronaldo to go in the summer but he couldnt find a club, I wouldn't believe it purely based on our track record with the likes of Pogba, Lingard, Henderson, etc.

Stop putting words in my mouth Jorge Mendes please.
If Ronaldo told you the earth was flat you would believe him.
I love the word 'irrelevant' in there - Ronaldo will hate that.
You really have to ignore any portuguesy comments as they are biased as feck. Understandably to some extent, he's the biggest thing to come out of portugal since Vasco De Gama.
He claimed Rooney criticised him because he is jealous. What's to say Ronaldo isn't doing this because Ten Hag doesn't consider him to be the main man? It may have hurt his ego.
No I actually agree that he can not be the focal point of a team anymore and in fact I think it’s time to drop down a level and come back to Portugal and win stuff here. So as you can see this has nothing to do with what where I believe his level is at.
Portugal fans won’t turn on him especially. He has done more for this country then anybody else they can’t repay that debt to him.
Surely we are all of the common belief that the club is a mess and stuck in the dark ages behind the scenes.. now I’m seeing fans defend the club for investment. Have you been behind the scenes and thus are able to see the improvements made?
One of the biggest footballers in the World just went nuclear on the club & manager. What did you expect?
I could of sworn he laughed after saying the “I’m better looking part” almost as if he said that jokingly. But people took it literal.
Have to see the full interview to see
Don`t forget that he also told Rooney that he looks better also wich is very relevant in this discussion.
I’ve seen the new dressing room yes, Sultan’s kid has recently seen Carrington also.
Have you been and seen the jacuzzi and pool?
Leave now and never come back
No! I think he should be forced to play one more game at Old Trafford so that the fans have the chance to show their “appreciation”.
Goodbye.
I'll take your word for it. I'm just saying he's a fecking blowhard of epic proportions and a massive ego maniac.
That’s the most worrying thing, ETH did such a good job not playing him then all of a sudden he’s back in. I would rather play a fluid front three of Garnacho Rashford and sancho then Ronaldo anywhere there
Yep.
i know Ronaldo lost a child so I don’t want to trash talk, but we can’t play him at all. He may be gone
He shouldn’t have been back in the team but without a striker I sort of get it but not really. We should have just played a fluid front three of any of garnacho, rashford, sancho, Elanga, Bruno
You gotta see more videos of him, he’s hilarious[/QUOTE]

And Rooney scored many more goals than Ronny........at United
Yes and one has been at the tip top level of the sport for 18 years with not even a blemish on his character or with any proof that he would flat out lie while the other has been around for 5 years.
I wonder whose resume on self righteousness or truth holds more value
The Ronaldo defence force has gone fully active on this page.
