The Glazer family became the majority of the club's shareholders in 2005, but their involvement never satisfied the majority of fans.

Ronaldo, who said he had never met the owners, told TalkTV that not enough investment had been made in training facilities and that many things had remained the same since he first left the club in 2009.

He says there are "things within the club" that prevent Manchester United from reaching the top level and competing with the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and now league leaders Arsenal.

United have not won a major title in five years and Ronaldo says he does not see the club as a major force in the next two or three years.

"The fans, they are always right. I think the fans should know the truth, and know that the players want the best for the club," Ronaldo added.

 Manchester United player Cristiano Ronaldo confirmed that his club's management did not believe his daughter's illness and hospitalization after the death of her twin, which caused a bad situation towards them during that period that coincided with the preparations for the beginning of the current season, which he missed.

"Manchester United officials did not believe that my daughter was in hospital due to illness after the death of her twin," Cristiano Ronaldo said, in an interview with Piers Morgan, a journalist for the British newspaper, "The Sun".

Cristiano Ronaldo added: "The Manchester United CEO, as well as the sporting director didn't believe that something was wrong with my family problem, and that makes me feel bad."

He continued, "Going to pre-season and leaving my family in difficult times was not fair, so I did not go to pre-season in the summer."

Cristiano Ronaldo apologized to his teammates, and admitted that what he did against Tottenham by leaving the field early was a mistake.

Those options also include a deal with Ronaldo to allow him to leave for free by terminating his contract, which runs until June next year, and that would not include paying the last six months of his contract of around £560,000 a week, making him the highest-paid player in United history. .

The Portuguese star had broken his silence before the start of the 2022 World Cup, and confirmed that he had been betrayed by Manchester United officials, stressing his lack of respect for the current team coach, Eric Ten Hag.

In an interview with the British newspaper, “The Sun”, Ronaldo said, “I feel betrayed, not only at the coach’s level, but there are two or three people at the managerial level that I felt betrayed me, there are people who did not want me to be in the club since last year and not this year.” They tried to force me to leave."
