A conversation with Piers Morgan of TalkTV published just prior to the opening of World Cup, Ronaldo explained his feelings that United were a travesty to him , and that he had no respect for the manager Erik Ten Hag.

He was often employed as a substitute by Ten Hag, and in October did not go on the field against Tottenham Hotspur, instead walking down the tunnel with just a few minutes of the game left.
When he signed with United at the age of 23, Ronaldo transformed himself from an untrained, skilled winger to one of the top players around the world.
He was awarded the three Premier League titles, the FA Cup, two League Cups as well as the Champions League, and the first of his five Ballon d’Or crowns before moving to Real Madrid in 2009.
