Manchester United on Friday announced it has “initiated appropriate steps” after star forward Cristiano Ronaldo made numerous negative statements about the English club team in a recent television interview.
“I don’t have respect for him because he doesn’t show respect for me,” Ronaldo said.Complicating matters for Manchester United is Ronaldo’s contract, which ends in July and pays him $590,000 per week. Ronaldo’s representatives reportedly tried to shop him to other top-level European clubs during the Premier League offseason but failed to find a team that would pay his sizable salary.
Ronaldo is soon to arrive in Qatar for his fifth World Cup with the Portuguese national team. The next European transfer window is in January, and he seems to accept that he will be on the move. “Maybe it’s good for Manchester and probably is good for me as well to have a new chapter,” Ronaldo told Morgan. “Probably. But I don’t know.”
