In the final excerpt of his interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV, it was claimed that Manchester United had cut his legs and not wanted him to shine.
While claiming that there were a few clubs who were interested in his services during the summer transfer window, he also said that he believed the manager did not respect him in the way he deserved.
He doesn't know which club he'll be playing for after the World Cup, but he plans on playing until he's 40.

He apologized for the way in which he left Old United early after refusing to come on as a substitute in the game against Spurs in October.
Manchester United will not make a decision on Cristiano Ronaldo’s future until they see the full interview with Piers Morgan and remain calm about the situation, Sky Sports News' Dharmesh Sheth reports. Sky Sports News understands United don’t accept some of the criticism Ronaldo made in the clips that have been aired so far. Ronaldo criticised the club for a lack of investment in the 13 years since he left Old Trafford but sources have insisted United have invested in their facilities – notably the training ground, restaurant and swimming pool.
Ronaldo was also critical of Erik ten Hag but again sources insist Ronaldo was treated with respect by the club and the manager – in news conferences, Ten Hag always maintained Ronaldo had been given time off to deal with family matters.
In clips previously aired this week from the same interview,Ronaldo disclosed he was close to moving to Manchester City last summer, before Sir Alex Ferguson interceded, and was also critical of the club's crop of young players.

The second part of the interview can be found below.
He was asked if he would still be a Manchester United player.
It's hard to tell right now because I'm on the World Cup.
I wanted to be available to help the team do the good things, to put in the right spots, to compete with the best teams.
It's difficult when they don't like you to shine and they don't listen to you.
The trophies are a collective and individual thing. I can help a lot but the infrastructure isn't good.

He spoke about his relationship with his boss.
In a new job, you try to impress people. Manchester has been so bad in the last five years that they should clean it.
The way the press makes this so big is what makes it so big. I don't start to play until I go further than that, but I understand in the beginning.
People don't know about other things. The coach's empathy is not good. I'm telling the truth.
He said that he didn't respect him the way he deserved. But it is what it is, right? The game against Spurs probably was the reason I left.

On not coming on as a substitute against Spurs.
I regret leaving the stadium for the Spurs game.
It's not easy to tell you 100 percent, but I regret it. The coach provoked me in the same way. I was put in for three minutes.
I am not that type of player. I know what I can do to help.
They only mentioned my name when we left. Many people did the same last year. Eight players do the same thing, but they only talk about the black sheep, which is me.
The chapter was closed for me and I apologized to the coach.

The key players will play three minutes, don't tell me that. This is not acceptable.
They respect me after what they've said before. I regret taking this decision because it was not respectful for me.
I apologized to my team-mates and I regretted leaving the stadium. I apologized to my team-mates and regretted what I said.
The coach did not like me. This is what the relationship is about. He says in the press that he likes me and that he comes to me. That is only for the media. It was one hundred percent.
I won't have respect for you if you don't have respect for me.

They're going to criticize me even more when I don't speak.
It's something that I can handle. I'm going to be a disappointment. I might be able to make up a few people. But it is what it is, right?
We have obstacles in our lives that are hard to overcome. I'm going to fight against the people who don't believe in me. People should know they're wrong.
It's difficult for me to say that I won't return to Manchester United. Let's see what happens.
The press keeps saying that nobody wants me, which is completely wrong.
I was happy at Manchester United and I wanted to do a great season there. The press keeps repeating that nobody would want him.
They don't want a player who scored a lot of goals last year.
If not, I would like to see the team that I like to watch play.
I think the team is good. The coach is nice. They have a good team. If Manchester United do not win the title, I will be happy.

Sir Alex Ferguson supported Manchester United.
He's always on my side, even though I don't speak with him anymore. He knows me well. He knows that the club is not on the right path. Everyone is aware.
People don't want to see that. The fans are passionate about the game. The fans should be aware of the truth. They aren't good. They shouldn't stay the same.
I spoke about Lionel Messi.
The amazing player is magic. I have a really good relationship with him.
It's like a team-mate for me, a friend is the guy who was with you in your house, talking on the phone, no, but it's like a friend. I respect the way he talks about me.
He was asked if he could still play in the top flight at 37 years old.
I would like to play three more years. Two or three years is the max. I would like to finish at 40. 40 will be a good age according to me.
I don't know what's going to happen. Life is dynamic when you plan one thing for your life. You don't know what's happening.

Gary is not against his former teammate, but he does not think there is a way back for him at Manchester United.
During his interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV, Gary said he couldn't see the Portugal forward playing for the club in the future.
"I don't think he wants to go back," he said. If he wanted to return, he wouldn't have done this interview. It would be the end of his career at Manchester United.
The action that Manchester United may take is still not known.
"I'm wondering what Man Utd are doing because the reality is they know they have to end his contract or open up a precedent so other players can criticize them in the future," he said.
"It's not true, what he said, but all's fair in love and war," he said when asked if he was againstRonaldo.
I know I have to accept criticism and I get a lot of it back. I played with a lot of my team mates.
I'm not against the guy. I can't have any more respect for him. He's the best player I've ever played with and he's the most talented player I've ever played with.
