Manchester United want to sue the superstar over his interview

The Zoff between CR7 and the Red Devils escalates: United probably wants to take legal action against the star striker.

Manchester United want to sue Cristiano Ronaldo for his interview in which he sharply criticized the club, coach and teammates. He reports that Guardians. The English record champion accuses his former figurehead of breach of contract.

In addition, the club informed the 37-year-old that he would no longer need to appear at the training ground in Carrington after the World Cup in Qatar. This makes it very unlikely that Ronaldo will play for United again.

The Athletic had previously reported that the club was considering legal action against CR7. According to this, every player in the Premier League has a specific clause in their working papers obliging them to “follow and act in accordance with any lawful direction given by an authorized club official”.

It is also forbidden “to write or say anything that could bring the club into disrepute or cause damage to the club.” United obviously see these points as hurt by Ronaldo and his headline-grabbing interview with Piers Morgan.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Manchester United contract is up

United officially responded on Friday with a brief statement saying “appropriate steps had been taken in response to the striker’s recent media interview”. No further comments will be made until this process is complete.

Cristiano Ronaldo is now taking part in his fifth World Cup in Qatar with the Portuguese national team for the first time. His contract at United runs until the summer of 2023 but is unlikely to be fulfilled after the hassle of recent days, weeks and months.

His advisor Jorge Mendes is said to be already looking for a new club for the multiple world footballer.
