Glazers decide Ronaldo's future
This information was revealed by a person "with knowledge of the incident" to the US news agency AP. The source also said that Man Utd's lawyers are carefully watching Ronaldo's interview video to give legal advice to the club. The person asked to remain anonymous because he is not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
Ronaldo's interview, divided into two parts, will be fully published at 8pm on November 16 and November 17 London time. In the previously revealed video, the Portuguese striker criticized Man Utd for betraying him and declared no respect for coach Erik ten Hag. Ronaldo also thinks that Man Utd's decline is not a small fault of the Glazers.
After that, Man Utd announced that they would wait to see Ronaldo's full 90-minute interview with MC Piers Morgan before making a decision. However, many people think that the relationship between Ronaldo and Man Utd has broken and he has no choice but to leave after the 2022 World Cup.
According to ESPN, Ten Hag met the board of directors and decided that he no longer wanted to see Ronaldo's face. However, there has not been any official information about the future of the 37-year-old striker.
Ronaldo once wanted to leave Man Utd in the summer to play for a club that attended the Champions League. However, agent Jorge Mendes could not find a new place to meet his salary of 590,000 USD per week.
At this time, the contract between Ronaldo and Man Utd only has six months left. Mendes once again had to use his talent to negotiate with clubs that met the criteria set by Man Utd as well as Ronaldo.
Man Utd spent about $ 19 million to recruit Ronaldo from Juventus in the summer of 2021. Initially, this deal evoked a lot of emotions and Ronaldo started quite well after returning. However, the Portuguese striker gradually proved unable to shoulder the Man Utd attack.
Since Ronaldo's return, he has worked with three coaches Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ralf Rangnick and Ten Hag. When Ten Hag came with the expectation of reforming the team, the 37-year-old striker lost his starting position.
