Manchester United Football Club said on Friday it would “take appropriate measures” in light of fiery statements from its Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, which has left doubts over his future at Old Trafford stadium.
The winner of the Ballon d’Or as the best player in the world five times caused a spherical earthquake when he earlier said that he disrespected the Dutchman Eric Ten Hag, coach of the “Red Devils”, and criticized the Glazer family, the owner of United, in a 90-minute interview broadcast on the “Tok TV” channel. .
United said in a statement: “Manchester United took the appropriate action this morning in response to Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent media interview.
He added: We will not make further comments until this process has come to its conclusion.
United’s statement comes a day after Gary Neville, their former captain, said the ‘Red Devils’ had no choice but to cancel Ronaldo’s contract, which runs until the end of the current season.
Ronaldo is not expected to return to United until after his fifth international appearance at the World Cup finals in Qatar is over.
