Raphael Varane, a France defender, said that his Manchester United team-mates were affected by the comments of the player, who said that he didn't respect the manager and felt betrayed by the club.
In an interview with TalkTV that has cast doubts about his future at the club,Ronaldo said he was being forced out of the side he joined in August 2021.
Varane said the situation had affected players and that United would address the Portuguese forward's comments only after establishing the full facts.

Varane told French radio station Europe 1 that it affects them. We watch what is happening and what is being said.
We try to keep calm in our own way. There is a lot happening in the media.
We don't try to change the situation on our own, we're part of a collective.
The forward walked down the tunnel after being left on the bench when he refused to come on as a substitute against Spurs.
He wasn't part of the squad that faced the Blues the next day.

Manchester United are targeting a new elite forward even though they have slim pickings over their next move.
The Sky Sports News senior reporter said that a lack of interest from several European clubs meant that the vilified forward's next move was not certain.
She said that Graham Potter doesn't want to be dealing with the sideshow like United are and that Thomas Tuchel was against it.

There are other clubs who have ruled themselves out of the race. In January, they will not be making a move for any big player.
They are happy with how their form is going. At the moment, they're one of the most entertaining teams in Europe. It isn't a good idea for them. He has a limited amount of options.
If he is a free agent, I can't see how the very top clubs can see him making a difference in a positive way.

The ones who romanticised about the idea of a return of the Portuguese star areSporting. It would be a dream for him to come back, but the financial implications of his return are the only roadblock.
It would be hard to make the numbers work even if you took a huge pay cut. He would give them a commercial boost like no other player could, and that could help to generate funds to pay for his move. The only realistic option for him is that.

United are likely to consider all their options regarding the player now that he disrespects the club, his manager and team-mates.
He would have been in the squad if he'd been in the starting XI. He said he was sick.
The furore over his interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored has overshadowed his participation in the World Cup for Portugal.
The focus is on the work of the national team.
The goal is to fulfill the dream of all Portuguese people.

Jamie Carragher is speaking.
The comments were strange. Considering the timing of it, they were bang out of order.
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, but that 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.
It is obvious 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 think United should either sack him or transfer him to another team. 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.
He is going to 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.
