Last week, the 37-year-old Manchester United forward gave an interview to Piers Morgan in which he said he felt betrayed by the club.
Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has defended the timing of his interview with Piers Morgan, telling reporters on Monday it “won’t shake the changing room’s concentration and focus” ahead of the World Cup. “In my life, the best timing is always my timing,” Ronaldo said at press conference. “I don’t have to think about what other people think. I speak when I want. The players know me really well for many years and know the type of person I am.
The Guardian and The Athletic both quoted sources saying that the club has appointed lawyers and is considering legal action against Ronaldo. The Guardian also reported that the forward has been instructed not to return to Carrington, the club’s training ground, once the World Cup concludes. Ronaldo has been training as usual with teammate since arriving in Doha on Friday after a stomach bug ruled him out of Portugal’s friendly match against Nigeria in Lisbon the day before.
