He dish out against everyone…
With his scandalous interview, Cristiano Ronaldo (37) probably ended his second chapter at Manchester United on his own. But the entire conversation with journalist Piers Morgan has still not been published.
New Ronaldo statements cause the next England outcry! This time the Portuguese also shoots against his own teammates in the English record champions.
Ronaldo is particularly concerned about the young players. You would lack the necessary attitude.
CR7 explains: “I don’t think they disrespect the more experienced players or the older players, but they live in a different era. I can say that my child who is twelve years old has a different mentality than me.”
And further: “Their hunger (is different, editor’s note) I think they have it easier, everything is simple, they don’t suffer – and they don’t care.”

Ronaldo continued: “I don’t just mean a few players at Manchester United, but in all teams in all leagues in the world. The youngsters are no longer the same as they were in my generation. But you can’t blame them because it’s part of life and their generation, it’s the new technologies that distract them. They listen to you, but that’s why we have two ears, because it goes in one and out the other…”
For the five-time world footballer, that was “a bit strange, because I remember when I was 18, 19, 20, I always looked up to the best players like van Nistelrooy, Ferdinand, Roy Keane and Giggs. That’s why I’ve had the success and the longevity. I take care of my body, my mentality, my head because I saw these guys and I learned from them.”
After all: Ronaldo also mentions a young teammate positively! About compatriot Diogo Dalot (23) he says: “I have no doubt that he will have a long career. He’s young, smart, intelligent and he’s very professional. Maybe Martinez, Casemiro, who is already in his thirties, but I would say: Dalot.”
Ronaldo also spoke about…
…the development of Manchester United: “Manchester United have made no progress. Real Madrid and Juventus follow the latest technologies and infrastructure. They’ve always tried to improve, including in terms of training, nutrition and game recovery. Man United are behind clubs like that.”
…his near move to Manchester City: “I was close to moving to Manchester City in 2021. I was surprised because they tried very hard to sign me. But my heart, my history with Man United and Sir Alex Ferguson made the difference. The heart spoke out loud at that moment.”
