Piers Morgan revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo published a controversial interview right before the World Cup break because he could stay away from Man United for a while.
Ronaldo's controversial interview with Piers Morgan is divided into two parts and will be made public in its entirety next Wednesday. But as soon as part 1 was released, it caused a big split in the Manchester United fan community, causing certain disturbances at Old Trafford.
The national championships will take a break for more than a month to make room for the World Cup. And Piers Morgan said Ronaldo wanted to choose this time to publicize the interview so he could stay away from Man United.
“Cristiano has asked me to go public now, simple as that. He's been thinking about this for a while. He's getting more and more frustrated with what's going on at Man United.
He felt he had to speak up. He knows that the fire will burn, and changes will come. But he also felt he should do this. He knows people will criticize him but also knows that what he says is true.
Sometimes the truth hurts. He thought for a while and then I got a phone call. The World Cup is about to start and it gives him a month away from Man United and gives time for what he's said to absorb. He can come back and try to work things out.
He loves Manchester United and the fans and this is constantly mentioned in the interview. But in his opinion, Ronaldo believes that Man United has not changed since he left. He doesn't understand why. He thinks that if I don't say it, nothing will change."
