Manchester United have started taking action against Cristiano Ronaldo over his explosive interview with Piers Morgan, in which he blasted several aspects of the club.
Workers have been spotted tearing a large poster featuring Ronaldo from the side of Old Trafford, further stirring transfer speculations.
The 37-year-old has made an aggressive play to leave Manchester United by joining ‘Piers Morgan Uncensored,’ to unleash his pent-up fury on the club.
He claimed the Glazer family, who owns the club, didn’t care about sporting success. He also sais he does not respect manager, Erik ten Hag.
In the 90-minute interview, the striker noted the lack of evolution at the club since his exit in 2008.
On Monday, a club statement read: “Manchester United note the media coverage regarding an interview by Cristiano Ronaldo. The club will consider its response after the full facts have been established. Our focus remains on preparing for the second half of the season and continuing the momentum, belief and togetherness being built among the players, manager, staff, and fans.”
Now the Red Devil appear to have started taking action on the Portugal international by removing him from plain sight at Old Trafford.
Ronaldo was featured in an Adidas poster to advertise the new home kit, but workers were seen ripping that from the stadium walls on Wednesday afternoon.
