The Portuguese professional striker has dominated the headlines this week since an interview with Piers Morgan in which he attacked the Red Devils and the elements surrounding the club.

In a column for The Times, Piers recalled his conversation with the Portuguese player in the spring, writing that the return of his dream just eight months earlier turned into a nightmare and for an hour Cristiano Ronaldo passionately articulated all the problems he believed were behind the club’s demise. from perennial champions under the figure of his father, Sir Alex Ferguson, to basic mediocrity.
According to Piers Morgan, he told him that he could not ignore what is happening inside the club now. It’s so amateurish. No definite purpose, no leadership, no organization, just a void of ideas. The future is very dark unless things change very quickly. Morgan says he asked him if he regretted returning, and Cristiano Ronaldo sighed and said that maybe his heart spoke louder than his mind.
