London, Nov. 15 (BNA): Manchester United partner Joel Glazer will make the final decision regarding Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at the club after the striker’s scorching TV interview.
Ronaldo’s position at United is considered unacceptable after he said he felt “betrayed” by the club in an interview set to be broadcast in Britain this week, where he also said he had no respect for Eric ten Hag.
The interview was widely seen as an attempt by Ronaldo to force a move away from United after the World Cup, but the Glazers will have the final say on any decision to sell the striker and it will be up to Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes to deliver. Potential clubs are willing to buy him.
For Sunday’s match against Fulham in the Premier League, Ronaldo was left out of United’s squad for the second consecutive match after the club said he was suffering from an unspecified illness.
But he trained with the Portuguese national team on Monday as they began preparations for the World Cup, reports the Associated Press.
There was widespread speculation about Ronaldo’s departure from United even before the season began, but a possible exit has become complicated by the limited number of clubs that can afford his salary of around £500,000 ($590,000) per week. Ronaldo
He has six months remaining on his contract and United’s lawyers are currently reviewing footage of the 37-year-old’s explosive interview to determine the club’s legal status.
In excerpts from the interview released on Sunday night, Ronaldo harshly criticized Ten Hag, the Glazer family and the club in general.
US officials have not yet seen the full interview and are not aware that it was conducted before excerpts began circulating on Sunday.
“The club will consider its response after confirming the full facts,” United said. “Our focus remains on preparing for the second half of the season and continuing the momentum, belief and teamwork that is being built between the players, manager, staff and fans.”
