Cristiano Ronaldo says he feels 'betrayed" by Manchester United

Ronaldo promised in August he would give his version of life at Old Trafford after failing to secure a move away from United to a club playing in the Champions League, as he had hoped, Qazet.az reports.

The veteran Portuguese has now broken his silence in a wide-ranging interview with Piers Morgan for TalkTV.

Manchester United have been asked for a response to Ronaldo's claims.

United, who beat Fulham 2-1 on Sunday, are fifth in the Premier League in manager Ten Hag's first season in charge.

When asked if United's hierarchy were trying to force him out of the club, Ronaldo said: "Yes, not only the coach [Erik ten Hag], but another two or three guys around the club. I felt betrayed."

When quizzed again if senior club executives were trying to oust him, the 37-year-old said: "I don't care. People should listen to the truth.

"Yes, I felt betrayed and I felt like some people don't want me here, not only this year but last year too."
