Ronaldo would appreciate it greatly if you didn't use the words that came out of his mouth against him.
Cristiano Ronaldo: Set to leave by mutual agreement

It must be hard work dealing with ex footballers on a daily basis when you've experienced real life and have half a brain.
They're on a different planet.

"Manchester United will consider tearing up Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract in the January transfer window – as long as he does not demand a pay-off for the remainder of his deal.
The club are considering their options, including whether to fine Ronaldo and whether they can take further disciplinary action, after his explosive, unauthorised interview in which he claims he has “no respect” for Erik ten Hag and accused United of betraying him.
Those options also include striking an agreement with Ronaldo to let him leave for free by terminating his contract which runs until June next year. But sources are adamant this will not involve paying the final six months of his highly-lucrative deal understood to be worth around £560,000-a-week, which makes him the highest-paid player in United's history.
The suspicion is that this is what Ronaldo will demand, however. United are desperate not to involve themselves in mud-slinging with one of their greatest ever players although there is clearly a general acceptance that he should never represent them again after his interview with Piers Morgan for Talk TV.
There is relief that United do not play again until the middle of December which gives them time to decide their best option.
United, who were celebrating their 2-1 win in the final Premier League game before the World Cup break, only found out about the interview just before news broke that it had taken place.
On Monday the club released a statement that read: “Manchester United notes the media coverage regarding an interview by Cristiano Ronaldo.
“The club will consider its response after the full facts have been established. Our focus remains on preparing for the second half of the season and continuing the momentum, belief and togetherness being built among the players, manager, staff, and fans.”

More clips coming out now
I think it’s just a narcissist unable to accept reality
The stuff about Neville not being his friend. He’s a fecking lunatic.
Ronaldo is an employee of the club not a fan. He has no business calling out or slagging his employer. If he wants to be a fan then he should play for free.
We'd rather he left,
But he thinks he's riiiiiiiiight,
That boy Ronaldo,
Got old and turned shite.

These headlines about the club not believing Ronaldo about his poorly daughter with no context given and without any timeline of events is out of order. But that sensationalist headline is all people see and it’s incredibly unfair on our club. For a start, bringing up his daughter is fecking low.

Bet Rooney and Neville won't sleep tonight.
Souness has been so desperate to have digs at Ten Haag last few weeks. Virtually every incident is his fault according to Souness. The old bitter lemon can’t stand the fact Utd finally have a manger who’s competent.
That's truly revealing.
Also this definitely reeks of something someone told him to say.
Also they give all the power to president and sports director.
Scathing.
Particularly when there was press about him being grateful given the time off. He doesn’t even say it, Piers tries to put the words in his mouth and he backtracks.
At least he's gone for the Glazers.
He's certainly not done himself any favors if he thinks this expedites him a move to a Champions League contender.
No functional club will want to deal with this.
Love that for him.
Absolute bellend.

He is spot on about the Glazers, feck them they should be the ones that need to be after.
Wazza and Gaz "not my friends".
The more quotes, the more wierd nonsens is coming out. Just buy out your contract and go. Or find a club that wants you. No problem.
What a sad, pointless and wierd interview and the picture that he paint of himself is far away from a good one.

If Ronaldo had made this all about the infrastructure, the owners, etc. he would have the backing of fans.
He instead went after our all time top goalscorer, our manager that has the full backing of seemingly every single other person at the club, and his own playing time when he is one of our worst performing players. Guy doesn't know how to PR.

I struggle to do 21 seconds let alone 21 minutes, where am I skipping to?
He's the hero we don't deserve but the hero we need.
The killer part of it is that he complains that the club don't believe him, and then when asked why he wasn't in the side today he said that he was asked to be on the bench but he told them that he was ill.
Guy isn't on the same page as himself.
Souness is a fecking moron. The conversation ETH & Ronaldo had in the summer is irrelevant - because he's been shit whenever he's been on the pitch since then. It's not as if managers aren't allowed to change their mind after watching the equivalent of half a seasons football.
This is the guy who bought Ali Dia, and then had to sub him off in the same half. What a complete idiot.

Oh no that will teach them!
I doubt there’s an owner in the league who cares about the club they own. It’s an investment
Fecking hell, Souness talks an unbelievable amount of shite. Goes on and on about this fictional meeting that he's made up in his own head. Clown.
“Loves the club”…feck me sideways.
If the stupid bastard knew how badly the club was run (the whole football world knows) why did he join in the first place? Half a million reasons maybe? This interview is full of contradictions and has only made himself look a complete tit.

He’s a weird bloke to be honest, not someone that Wayne or Gary would want to have dinner with I imagine. He reminds me of Michael Jackson in some ways.
I'm waiting for the farce he'll become after retirement. He love for the limelight wouldn't let him rest easy.
Watch out for "keeping up with the Ronaldos".

Don’t buy his bullshit about the glazers and club infrastructure. It’s like telling the world that Manchester is often wet. He’s throwing that in to the mix to get some backing behind his rant which is designed to be all about him. Yep, more quotes confirming he’s a tool.
Wasn’t it also in The Sun?
Definitely. Insane wealth and being told your the greatest in your field has led to an insane ego that has turned him into an absolute weirdo.
He slagging off the Glazers?
Now im Team Ronnie again
Now im Team Ronnie again
But apparently he loves the club.
Whoever believes that should wobble his head.

Exactly. Pathetic from him to try to garner favour.
I’d agree with that. I don’t think the guy is going to cope well with post-football life at all.
