The club's owners don't care about the club on the sporting side according to the player.

He said that Manchester got money from the marketing.

It will be difficult for Manchester to be the best in the next few years.

The Portugal forward said that the owners of the club don't care about the club.

The club was taken over by the Glazer's in 2005.

"Manchester United notes the media coverage regarding an interview by the Portuguese player," the club said in a statement. After the full facts have been established, the club will make a decision.

The focus remains on preparing for the second half of the season and continuing the momentum, belief and togetherness being built among the players, manager, staff, and fans.

The club hasn't won a trophy in over a year and fans have staged protests against the owners.

The captain of Portugal said that the fans are correct. They should be aware of what's true. The players want to win. The club needs the best. This is the reason I came to Manchester United in the first place.

There are things inside the club that don't help Manchester get to the top level.

It's not easy. It is hard. It is difficult.

'Neville and Rooney not my friends'

On the Sunday section of the interview, he was asked if he was angry that Wayne Rooney had criticized him.

He ended his career in his 30s. I'm still playing well. I'm not going to say that I look better than him.

In Monday's segment, he focused on Gary Neville.

The former England right-back worked as a Sky Sports pundit.

It's difficult to listen to the negative things people say about people who play with you. Gary Neville is also included. "They aren't my friends." saidRonaldo.

It's not hard to criticize. I'm not sure if you have a job in television that you have to criticize to be more famous.

They take advantage of my profile because they are not dumb. It's difficult when you see people in the dressing room who are not happy about something.

What happened before now?

The previously released section of the interview shows that the club are trying to force him out and that he doesn't respect the manager.

Although he scored 118 goals for United between 2003 and 2009 and his return in the summer of 2021 was celebrated by the club's fans, he seems to have alienated a lot of them with this interview, which will be shown in full this week.

He is a member of the Portugal squad that will compete in the World Cup.
