It will soon be 24 hours since clips of Cristiano Ronaldo’s controversial interview appeared, in which the Portuguese openly spoke about how he disrespected coach Eric Ten Hag and, among other things, spoke rather unkindly about club legend Wayne Rooney. How will Manchester United react? – is a question that interests the island public the most.Cristiano Ronaldo arriving at Old Trafford after the World Cuppic.twitter.com/eiFvimxCQ0— Troll Football (@TrollFootball) November 14, 2022 Due to the complete circus that is currently happening at Old Trafford and the great uncertainty surrounding the fate of one of the greatest goal scorers of all time, the English have pushed all other topics into the background. Even the World Cup ones.
