3 Biggest Bombshells from Cristiano’s Ronaldo’s Piers Morgan Interview

Cristiano Ronaldo made it pretty clear he’s not happy with Manchester United in recent months, and he aired all the dirty laundry in a tell-all interview with Piers Morgan. Here are the three biggest bombshells that the Portuguese superstar revealed during their conversation. Ralf Rangnick Criticism Ronaldo was highly critical of United’s interim manager Ralf Rangnick. He said that Rangnick is “not even a coach” and that he never really saw him as the boss deep inside. He went as far as to claim that he never heard of Rangnick before he was hired and that United’s decision to bring him on board surprised not only him but the entire world. Slammming Young Players Ronaldo wasn’t any kinder to his young teammates, criticizing them for having no hunger, and singled out Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, and Casemiro as rare exceptions. "I think they have things more easily, everything's easy, they don't suffer - and they don't care. I don't mean only a few in Manchester United, but all the teams in all leagues in the world, the youngers are not the same of my generation,” said Ronaldo. Man City Move The Portuguese superstar also revealed he was very close to joining Man City, but the complicated history between the two clubs made things difficult. Ronaldo even discussed the potential move with his old manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who told him it was “impossible” for him to leave United for Man City.
