The importance of actions cannot be overstated. But not in the world of Cristiano Ronaldo, where they don't exist at all.
Video footage of the five-time winner of the Ballon d'Or ripping into the club that gave him the platform to build his career emerged less than four hours after one of his biggest admirers, Alejandro Garnacho, scored the goal that sent Manchester United into the World Cup break in the best possible way. Garnacho's goal sent Manchester United into the break in the best possible way. It was one of the most damning interviews you are ever likely to see a footballer give, and it was his explosive conversation with Piers Morgan, which was broadcast late on Sunday evening. Ronaldo, who will be leaving this week with his Portugal teammates for the start of what is likely to be his fifth and final World Cup, ripped into United and manager Erik ten Hag without a care in the world, not thinking about the impact it could have on his teammates and the club's recent progress. This is likely to be Ronaldo's fifth and final World Cup. Ronaldo will be leaving this week with his Portugal teammates for the start of what is likely to be his fifth and final World Cup. He claimed that the club had "betrayed" him, and he criticized Ten Hag for not showing him any respect. To tell you the truth, it was unbelievable. When Ronaldo was asked about how he felt after his attempts to leave Manchester United over the summer were unsuccessful, he told Morgan, "I felt betrayed." "To tell you the truth, I really shouldn't say that because I don't know. But I couldn't care less, everyone needs to pay attention.
"I feel betrayed, and I got the impression that some people didn't want me here, not only this year but also last year," the speaker said. "It's been a year since I've been here."
He continued by saying this about Ten Hag: "I don't have respect for him because he doesn't show respect for me. If you do not respect me, I will never respect you. If you do not respect me, I will never respect you.
Despite the fact that Ten Hag has been the one who has been disrespected more frequently by Ronaldo, he has handled the situation involving Ronaldo this season with great skill. Ronaldo is 37 years old. In only a few short sentences, Ronaldo has almost certainly put an end to his career with Manchester United for good. After this, there should be no way for him to return to play at Old Trafford, regardless of his status at the club and the contributions he has made during his two separate stints as a Manchester United player.
He has ruined his legacy and tarnished his reputation in M16, despite the fact that it had already taken a hit when he chose to storm down the tunnel, head back into the dressing room, and leave the stadium before the full-time whistle had even been blown on United's 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford last month. It was in poor taste and showed a lack of class, and as a consequence, Ten Hag made sure he was punished for it by excluding him from the team that traveled to Chelsea three days later.
Additionally, the day before the game, he was compelled to practice on his own at Carrington. But to Ten Hag's credit, who has always publicly supported Ronaldo ever since he arrived at Old Trafford in May, he offered him a reprieve, inviting him back into the first-team fold for the following fixture, and handing him a start for the Europa League win over Sheriff Tiraspol. This is despite the fact that the latter has not repaid him on the pitch, scoring a paltry three goals this season. After his goal later that evening, everything in the world appeared to be going back to normal.
Although many supporters respected Ten Hag's decision in his capacity as manager, they felt that this particular choice was inappropriate. In light of the fact that he had refused to enter the game as a substitute against Tottenham when he was told to do so, Ronaldo had gone too far and should never have been allowed to play for the club again, despite the fact that everyone is capable of making an error every once in a while.
CAfter some consideration, the fact that he captained the team at Aston Villa a little over a week ago is shocking to say the least. After one week, he has completely misread the room, and this is not the first time it has happened. As a result, he has completely destroyed the club and its manager.
Ronaldo's career as a footballer, both with Manchester United and throughout the sport as a whole, will be remembered as one of the very best of all time. It is difficult to picture another player who is on par with him appearing in the near future. It's possible that no one will ever be able to top him.
However, in the span of a single interview—something that he had promised to do back in August—he has irreparably harmed both his reputation at United and his lasting legacy. As a result of this, it is virtually impossible to picture him ever playing for the club again, and there is no reason why he should. Ten Hag is currently making an effort to alter both the culture and the financial standing of United. They can get by without Ronaldo's interference, especially considering how much better they play when he's not on the field.
The last thing that Ten Hag and the club need right now is to have to deal with Ronaldo's outbursts and actions, which have the potential to derail all of the progress that has been made in such a short amount of time so far this season.
The best thing that Manchester United could do for Cristiano Ronaldo would be to rip up his contract and release him from his obligations with the club. This would fulfill Ronaldo's desire to play for another team once and for all. Just a few hours before the publication of this explosive interview, Ten Hag stated in his post-match analysis at Craven Cottage that "the culture, attitude, and mentality has changed" at United. They do not require Ronaldo to stand in their way in order to accomplish that.
