Cristiano Ronaldo says he feels “betrayed” by Manchester United and is being forced out of the club.
Ronaldo, 37, promised in August he would give his version of life at Old Trafford after failing to secure a move away from United to a club playing in the Champions League, as he had hoped.
The Portugal forward has now spoken out in a wide-ranging interview with Piers Morgan for TalkTV.
When asked if United’s hierarchy were trying to force him out, Ronaldo said: “Yes, not only the coach, but another two or three guys around the club. I felt betrayed.”
Pushed as to whether senior club executives were trying to oust him, he added: “People should listen to the truth.
“Yes, I felt betrayed and I felt like some people don’t want me here, not only this year but last year too.”
“I feel betrayed.”
