'It might even be the case that he has done Manchester United a favour with this interview. If the opportunity is there to terminate his contract forthwith, then the club should probably take it.' twoht
So this, presumably, is how it all ends. If there’s one thing that we can be reasonably certain about after Cristiano Ronaldo met Piers Morgan for, it’s that he has surely now played his final game for Manchester United, even though his contract is supposed to run until the end of this season.
In his statement following the Spurs incident, he said, “As I’ve always done throughout my career, I try to live and play respectfully towards my colleagues, my adversaries and my coaches”, and that, “I’m the same person and the same professional that I’ve been for the last 20 years playing elite football, and respect has always played a very important role in my decision-making process.”
But is this scorched earth policy likely to deliver him what he actually wants? He wants to be playing in the Champions League, but after all these tantrums and now this latest escapade, does he seriously believe that a team playing in Europe’s elite club competition would want to risk spending a lot of money on such a player?
The exit door has now been firmly pushed open, but where does that door take him? One final enormous payday will almost certainly come his way, possibly in MLS or from Saudi Arabia, but whatever offers he may receive now seem unlikely to match the prestige of Manchester United, the Premier League and perhaps even the Europa League.
