Cristiano Ronaldo has done an explosive interview with Piers Morgan that is set to be shown in full on between Wednesday and Thursday on Talk TV. Snippets of the interview have been teased across social media and everyone is talking about it.
Sky Sports News have spoken to Jamie Jackson, who covers Manchester United for The Guardian, and he gave his honest but brutal take on Ronaldo.
Jackson believes Ronaldo’s behaviour is damaging and has called on Sir Alex Ferguson to step in to give him the hairdryer treatment. He went on to claim that Ronaldo is showing a lack of class which could go some way towards tarnishing his relationship with the fans.
“I can’t get over the fact that he is a paid employee at the club,” Jackson told Sky Sports, which may suggest that he current deal could be terminated between now and the January transfer window.
"I can't get over the fact that he is a paid employee at the club." 😦

It has been sad to watch a player I’ve always admired turn this way. He’s clearly finding it difficult to come to terms with his fall as a great player.
Honestly, I’m not even surprised. I mentioned it last season, that Ronaldo was the reason we had such a horrendous season but people thought I was mental. It’s sort of like having a very pretty girl as a girlfriend but who’s clinically depressed and has had alot of traumatic experiences in her life. From the beginning & from people outside, you’re lucky & it’ll look all rosy but at the end of the day, she’s going to squeeze out every form of happiness in your life because every single thing will be centered around her ‘own’ happiness, which is hard to come by.
It’s a miracle Man United qualified for the Europa League with Pogba & Ronaldo in that side. Don’t get me wrong, Ronaldo is, alongside Messi, two of the greatest players football has seen but there’s something called Principle. I’m Old School, the way a man chooses to act and what he chooses to say speaks volumes about his character. To disrespect your Coach, teammates, staffs, the board, the club(your current employers!) during what will be one of the most gruesome seasons, is utterly despicable, vile and appalling. I find it baffling that some folks still see no wrong in what he’s done. It’s a reminder of the world we live in now. A world where principle, chivalry & the core values that govern us has made way for insubordination, petulance, and the general acceptance of ineptitude.
