Manchester United To Terminate Cristiano Ronaldo’s Contract

Manchester United’s lawyers are seeking way to bring Cristiano Ronaldo’s time at the club to an end following his explosive interview.

The club made it known that it had “initiated appropriate steps” and “will not be making further comment until this process reaches its conclusion”.

Ronaldo accused United of betraying him and trying to force him out of the club in an interview with TalkTV broadcaster Piers Morgan.

United have not put a time frame on the process but it is thought they want Ronaldo’s exit done “cleanly and quickly” and in a dignified a way.

In the 90-minute interview, Ronaldo said he has no respect for manager Erik ten Hag.

He told Morgan, “I don’t have respect for him because he doesn’t show respect for me. If you don’t have respect for me, I’m never gonna have respect for you.”

The 37-year-old also said he felt “provoked” by the United manager.
