'They're NOT my friends,' Ronaldo slams Rooney and Neville in Piers Morgan interview 

"Ronaldo is the problem" What an absolute joke. Ronaldo: "They'll struggle the next 2-3 years" he was 100% correct. the club is in absolute shambles

Ok, so lets recap. Cr7's son passed away, his daughter was in hospital, two of his trusted teammates criticized him, he got benched by both clubs and international team.. And he is still playing to this day.

Well... time shows CR7 was right!

A football club can’t never be over the family -Sir Alex Ferguson

A year later & this proves that Cr 7 was absolutely correct.

When many United fans criticize CR7 when he came back, I knew he wasn't the problem and what he said in this interview was absolutely correct. I've always believed him

He is a dedicated player. He can see what is going wrong. He never blamed Manchester United club. He only points towards those responsible people who are in-charge of the club.

So basically he had to choose between his family or pre-season. No respect for human being. Mourinho and Ibra criticised Man U. CR7 you're not the only one.

the world laughed at him & thought he was just crying. look at Manchester United now hahahaha

You cannot doubt he loves football, you cannot doubt that he loves Man Utd. So I really do not think you can doubt how he has been made to feel. Took courage to do this and his comments cannot be ignored.

This interview will aged like a fine wine for sure 🎉

The editing here is phenomenal 😂 He said “they are not my friends, they are my colleagues. They are not coming over, we don’t have dinner”

No matter how strong he is and how he handles criticism and even hate and turns it into motivation for himself, Ronaldo is human and those harsh and unfair remarks do get to him sometimes. Most of those critics are jealous of him most likely. Anyways, Ronaldo is one of the strongest athlete we know and he will continue scoring goals at will no matter what the critics say. More power to you CR7!

I doubt any human would be able to do their job properly if their child is very ill. There is compassion needed here. It's not always about the football. Although some idiots would disagree.

This man is saying the TRUTH!

The club definitely went off a cliff after Alex ferguson left

Ronaldo is the player who made me and countless other people of my generation fall in love with Manchester United. Despite their acrimonious falling out, i hope Manchester United organize a testimonial match for this player who brought so much glory to the Reds and the fans over the year's. He truly deserves it. If Man Utd could do it for Roy Keane who also left after a cold ruction with the manager, then surely they can do the same for Ronaldo. In over 300 appearances, 7 seasons and two spells, Ronaldo is a Man Utd legend.

I like he came out to be himself. Clubs are always interesting as many people get involved and invested. Of course not everyone thinks alike, but you have to think alike enough to act as one club. Once you get different camps, one camp has to leave while the other remains and keeps going.

I have never been a fan of this guy but you one thing you can't ever deny is what he has done for the sport, for many years he was the face of this wonderful sport and yes he is ageing and yes he could have been more gracious in this interview but you can see the sadness in him while talking about Rooney & Neville. It could have been the most magical homecoming of a true hero to his boyhood club but alas not every story ends on a positive note. i hope he found some success in Saudia Arabia before he finally decides to hang his boots. The world will definitely miss Messi & Ronaldo once they are not there on the pitch and then the fanboys will realize that after all these years they could have enjoyed their performances a bit more rather than have a banter with one another. The same thing happens with Nadal & Djokovic fans as well

i do love him so much when he speaks the truth about life, his career and the love for the game, inside and outside the pitch. he is very honest, clear and direct. a true captain ability!

Brilliant can’t wait for full interview

Respect to Ronaldo this man is one of the greatest sport superstars in history. This is a man that loves football but would give it all up in a heartbeat to have his child back. This is a man that deserves to be respected and appreciated by everyone in the game for what he has achieved over the last two decades. Manchester United only signed him from Juventus for two reasons the first being the marketing and the second was to stop Manchester City from signing him and having a repeat of the Carlos Tavez Welcome to Manchester situation again. Let’s face it Manchester United have been a dodo 🦤 ever since Ferguson quit they have seen Liverpool Manchester City and Chelsea win the premiership even Leicester City has had a better decade in the premiership than Manchester United. If Ronaldo was given the respect he deserves if he played every game and was the team’s captain Manchester United would score more goals. You have rubbish players at Manchester United like Harry Maguire who hasn’t kicked a ball and should go back and play for Hull he’s that bad. Total respect to Ronaldo who will still win more trophies than Manchester United over the next two and half years when he turns 40. Manchester United will now drift for another decade in the shadows of Manchester City.

Bro called it that it'll be hard for United to be on the top for few years.

Honest man in football❤

“The fans are always right”. Man he’s too nice to them 😂

Ronaldo has been pushed too far. He is very Honest.

2:07 Look at Piers face.. Laughing like a groupie 😂

The only person who gets bashed for being a good human and reacting like a human when he gets disrespected all while having the capabilities of a man from another world

LMAO the things about Rooney are GOLD... 😂😂😂😂😂

family comes always first, bravo Ronaldo, you are a great parent, você é o melhor xo

I have respect for Ronaldo for doing this

GOAT, I have so much respect for CR7 and am sad to see the jealousy and hatred towards him. May God bless him and his family and reveal Himself to him. Jesus loves him.

At least he is honest . Cristiano said what he thinks

Lol, that was straight forward, cold as ice “they are not my friend, F… them two” :))

Love Cristiano the 2nd greatest player i have ever seen in my lifetime ❤

I feel like a lot of the ex-players bring up too much of ‘the old days.’ How can the club change if you even have people inside the club who like things the way they are. New ownership would be the only way to have a full wipe of the club. Ronaldo is the only one still playing so he would have more of an understanding of what’s going on.

if i had never seen Ronaldo and someone told me he was still 17 i would probably believe them. not a single wrinkle or hair out of place... i can see why these guys his age attak him all the time.. because hes the best attacker in the world

How right he is being proved now.

If you owned a football club and signed Christiano Ranaldo it's quite unbelievable that they would never speak to him, even just to say hello and meet him, given he's one of the all-time greats. It'd be like signing Maradona or Pele and not even being interested enough to say hello! It just shows their total disinterest in football.

Respct king❤

Turns out….this guy was totally right! Once again! CR7 THE BEST!!!

I AM Proud of him

There will never be someone greater than him 🐐🇵🇹

Ronaldo is a Great & Talented Athlete (which always makes him such an easy target!!). But in the end, he is the one with the Greatest Legacy!! 😘👌

Where can i see the full interview??

a world class player and a world class man. how can you not love Ronaldo. he is amazing

This man was speaking the truth and only truth shall set you free and he's now free and enjoy his football career in Saudi Arabia😂😂❤❤

RONALDO! As united fan you only said what we all feel! Time proved him right.

Legend

he truly is the embodiment of that club in trafford

His prophecy came true,lol What he said was real and honest,didnt bad mouth the fans and the legacy of the club except the organization behind that was cause for the downfall of man utd,no team fears man utd now compare to the team when ferguson mad mourinho left..cr7 alwasy gave his best for the fans and club!! Viva ronaldo!!

Very raw!

Everyone has the right to say their opinion.Respect👍

He was right, and now it's even more clear.

All England is jealous because they never have a player with 10% of his ability. English play always the boring football and media talks like they are superpower when they never won anything for 60 years.

In Fairness He Was Disrespeced Considering All The Good He Did Should Have Been Appreciated More

I still come to this interview to realise how genuine CR7 is and the kind of dedication he has, hats off.

He is the best player in the world ❤

Cristiano greatest of all time most dedicated professional their has ever been

All makes sense now

Ronaldo is always very well spoken

Love these two relationship, you can see they are definitely friends

His English was better a few years ago. He had been through tough times lately. He just signed off from the Club in this interview.

Rooney is just jealous cuz they both 38 but he looks 73 while Rondo is still super fit

You can't trade your family for your professional career. I love your opinion. I only understood that until recently. Our family stays and cheers forever but our work place will ever be never

Damn Morgan really Gaslighting Cristiano here😂

He is really honest. Youcan see what he predicted that MU gonna be. Its time to leave ten hag and upgrade the facilities seriously.

Well, it appears the goat was right after all ❤🎉😊

Behold, the man was right!!!

Rats... all of them! This guy loved the club and he loves to win... and got betrayed by the coach, club and their supposed friends... MU as fallen into disgrace... so sad 😢

I love this man now. Well done Ronaldo

Respect

When he come back to united he was the best player for them still at that age says everything about united niw no word class players i see in that team

The club is finished and I've been saying this for years. They are probably the club who spent the most in recent years and transform promising players with out of the world price tags into flops. Sancho, Maguire, Pogba, Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez, Van de Beek, Alex Telles, and recently even Bruno Fernandes, just to name a few from the top of my head. And the worst thing is that their shameless fans will keep celebrating risky expensive signings without realizing how bad it really is for the club. "Why should we care? The money doesn't come from our pockets anyway". Never seen a fanbase have this mindset and then wonder why things go wrong everytime

Respect for being honest

Family always comes first

I used to hate CR but he really won me over

GOD BLESS YOU RONALDO. Thanks to you the Glazers will soon release Man United.

This man lost a child can we give him a break please.

always respect you CR7❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

From a Liverpool fan of nearly fifty years, CR7 is probably the only Manchester United footballer I have ever respected. 😃

This world can bs didn't listen so sad! This world can be cruel!!! even when he explained clearly fools refused to understand! those last words hit me hard!

He is right

Who said thank you to him after he has won CL with Utd like Beckham? Beckham got statue in LA but doesn’t have in Man Utd Both deserve more credits

Cr7 the prophet

Look at Man United now you was right 👍🏻

Ronaldo just can't hide the truth

PSG, Real, Sporting and Bayern open their arms to you CR7

He spoke the truth

Now they only see what you saw long time ago, they crying a river

people will always get mad when they see people speak they mind but then again the same people who support ronaldo would be the same ones to judge someone who disagrees with a group and just because it's 5 against 1 they tend to ride the group of 5

Dude cares number 1 about his family, number 2 about football. Man United failed one of the greatest footballers of all time.

Sir Alex was really a blessing

Jealously is the only explanation 😂 poor Ronny. Will never be another cr7 ever

Bro is tripping he’s not top anymore. He swears he can win another champions or premier league

Very smart Ronaldo Cookie indeed 😂

Respect ronaldo.honest good person en best sportmen👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Uncensored but some hard cuts, particularly when he said "They're not my friends" hmm

Hate his ego rooney is a decent guy who I bet would consider him as a pal when they were at man utd.

King 👑 Ronaldo
