Appearing in a sit-down on Talk TV’s Piers Morgan Uncensored, the Portuguese superstar makes a number of explosive claims as his Manchester United career appears to be over. He feels blamed for everything that has gone wrong at the club and believes he is now being actively forced out. Cristiano Ronaldo has delivered a damning verdict on Manchester United, claiming the club have not progressed since the Sir Alex Ferguson era. The star ripped the club and boss Erik ten Hag in an exclusive interview with Piers Morgan in the Sun today. Ronaldo, 37, left for Real Madrid in 2009 before making a stunning return in August 2021. Asked if United had changed in that time, Ronaldo told Pearce: “The progress was zero. “Since Sir Alex left, I haven’t seen any development at the club. Nothing had changed. “He [Ferguson] he knows better than anyone that the club is not on the path it deserves. Knows. Everyone knows. “People who don’t see this… it’s because they don’t want to see. They are blind. “I think the fans should know the truth. I want the best for the club. That’s why I’m coming to Manchester United. “But you have some things in you that don’t help (us) get to the top level, like City, Liverpool and even now Arsenal. “A club of this stature should be at the top in my opinion and unfortunately they are not.” Ronaldo has hit back at Wayne Rooney after his former Manchester United team-mate criticized him this season. In an explosive interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo claims Rooney is jealous of his continued playing career. Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored, he said: “I don’t know why he criticizes me so badly… probably because he’s finished his career and I’m still playing at a high level. “I’m not going to say I’m better looking than him. Which is true…” Cristiano Ronaldo has explosively revealed he can’t respect boss Erik ten Haag because he “shows no respect for me”. After his much-publicised failure to secure a summer exit, Ronaldo has been forced to play a largely bench role this Premier League term. And with his competitive action largely confined to the cups, he has only managed to score three times since Ten Haag took over at the start of the campaign. Tension has been building between Ronaldo and the Dutchman for months. And that boiled over last month with a row after the striker’s departure and refusal to come off the bench against Tottenham led to the manager sacking him. In an exclusive interview with Sun Sport columnist Piers Morgan, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner said of Ten Haag: “I don’t respect him because he doesn’t show respect for me. “If you don’t have respect for me, I’ll never have respect for you.”
