Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher said that there is no way back for Manchester United and that they should sack the 37 year old.

Ronaldo wants the sack and United should do it!

The thing was going to happen. It was going to end this way. I said 18 months ago that it was a huge mistake for Manchester United to bring back the player they sold to Real Madrid.

The comments were strange. Considering the timing of it, they were bang out of order.

Cristiano Ronaldo: I feel betrayed
In a 90-minute interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored on TalkTV, Cristiano Ronaldo claimed head coach Erik ten Hag and others want him out of Old Trafford

They should be excited for the league to start again. They should be enjoying themselves and then the interview comes out with negative things to say. It's not about the team, it's about the player. Since he's returned, it's been that way. The show has been centered on the player.

He got a lot of goals last season and he has been good on the pitch. He's not involved this season and he's looking for attention because he's not on the field. He wanted to cause trouble with the interview and that's how he's going to do that.

Man Utd taking legal advice after Ronaldo interview

Sky Sports' chief reporter says that Manchester United will take legal advice before making a decision.

Senior figures at the club are talking about how to deal with the player but, as far as ten Hag is concerned, he has never disrespected any player.

In the four games since he was dropped for the game at Chelsea, he has started three of them.

It is not Ten Hag's problem now. Senior figures at the club have to deal with it because it is so large. Ten Hag can't deal with it on his own.

It is unlikely that he will play for the club again. Everyone at the club has tried to help, but there is only so much they can do.

He went to United's medical department to tell them he wasn't well after he was told he wouldn't start against Villa. Since then, United have not seen him.

It's clear that he wants to be fired. In the summer he told the club that he wanted to leave. He was paid too much by Manchester United and there were no takers. I think he knows that in the next transfer window, he's going to be sacked or he's going to leave on a free and he's going to want to go somewhere else. It's the only way he's going to leave.

I believe United should either sack him or give him a free transfer. They're trying to build something that isn't trying to win the title right now. In the next two or three years, the manager will want to push for those honours and that will mean the end ofRonaldo.

This will not go away and he will be a distraction. When a player comes out and says he doesn't respect the manager, how is that going to work out in the long run? Going forward, there will be people taking pictures and we will ask the manager if they know anything aboutRonaldo. The hassle is not needed by United.

I don't know where this disrespect comes from, I don't understand it. He disrespects United and Ten Hag.

Everyone respectsRonaldo for what he has done He's the greatest player in the history of the game. There was no respect going in a different direction.

He wanted to leave, he refused to come on as a sub, and then he left the stadium before the Spurs game ended. He was made the captain at Villa two weeks ago. I don't understand the lack of respect on either side, but theRonaldo is there for everybody to see.

He didn't want to be a sub and that's what made him the great player he is. It was a mistake to bring him back since he was going to blow up in United's face.

Ten Hag has played a blinder with Ronaldo

From the beginning, the manager has been blind on how to deal with him. He disciplined him when he refused to come on because he wanted to send a message to the rest of the dressing room.

Even though he's a nightmare for United right now, he can just sit back and think: "I've done my job."

It's not up to the club or the manager to say anything negative about the player. The supporters don't think he's crazy.

United fans will still remember the old Ronaldo

Ronaldo
Manchester United's fans have given their thoughts on Cristiano Ronaldo's accusation that he's been 'betrayed' by the club

Even if his reputation is lost or ruined, it won't be because of him. It won't be completely clean. In that golden period in Manchester United's history, in which they won numerous league titles and the European Championship, you will never forget what a great player he was.

When the dust settles, he's a legend at Manchester United and people will return to that. Some legendary players have left clubs at different times for different reasons and it hasn't been the exit they wanted.

People look at the bigger picture. There's a lot more good than bad about the way he's been viewed over the course of his career. People are sad. Some people on social media would like him to leave. He has done a lot for that football club and will have a great legacy.
