Manchester United say they have “initiated appropriate steps” in response to Cristiano Ronaldo’s explosive interview with Piers Morgan.
A fresh statement from the club read: “Manchester United has this morning initiated appropriate steps in response to Cristiano Ronaldo ’s recent media interview. We will not be making further comment until this process reaches its conclusion.”
The statement comes after Mirror Football reported earlier this week that United were ready to sack Ronaldo and were taking legal advice over the bombshell interview.
Footage from the interview first appeared on social media on Sunday night, with Morgan tweeting a clip in which Ronaldo revealed he felt “betrayed” by the club he rejoined last summer
Numerous other details also emerged prior to the full interview being shown in two parts on Morgan’s TV show on Wednesday and Thursday night. Before the full interview aired, United vowed to establish the “full facts” before considering its response.
