According to reports, Manchester United forward, Cristiano Ronaldo has likely played his last game for the club as the club is under pressure from fans and others to terminate the player’s contract.
According to Sky Sports, Ten Hag and United players are extremely disappointed with the manner and timing of Ronaldo’s interview.
Ronaldo will now fly to Qatar where he will captain the Portugal national team at the 2022 World Cup.
However, beyond the tournament, it is hard to see the five-time Ballon d’Or winner return to Old Trafford.
United are likely to pay Ronaldo off in the January transfer window, a time in which he will have six months left on his current deal.
It adds that “United are likely to consider all their options now regarding the player”.
Following the release of a clip from the interview late on Sunday night, United supporters have rallied around their team, as they took to social media to make it clear that the club is always bigger than the player – no matter who that person might be.

Surely that is Ronaldo done at Manchester United now. Don't see how there is a way back for him especially after going on record to say he doesn't respect Ten Hag.
Ronaldo's a club icon but pretty sure majority of #mufc fans would be on ETH's side.@CharDuncker

I hope Manchester United don’t wait more than 24 hours to terminate Ronaldo’s contract. Finally we can stop the circus that surrounds him and the club can move forward with its greatest asset Erik ten Hag #MUFC

No one is bigger than the club, not even the great Cristiano Ronaldo.
I feel the us, the supporters, won't be (like you suggest they are) on your side now.
Theres absolutely no coming back from this. Terminate his contract, such a sad way for things to end. #mufc
