Following the release of the interview snippets, Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol revealed that the players felt disappointed by marksman's actions.
"Erik Ten Hag and Manchester United players are extremely disappointed with the manner and timing of Cristiano Ronaldo's interview," Solhekol tweeted.
"[The] club only found out about the interview as they were preparing to fly back from London this evening after the Fulham game.
"Manchester United are likely to now consider all their options regarding Ronaldo. Management and players don't understand why he has said what he has said. They are hugely disappointed that he would disrespect the club, his manager and teammates in this way.
"Ronaldo was told on Thursday that he would not be in the starting XI against Fulham but he would have been in the squad. He told the club he was ill.
"No one at United has ever disrespected Ronaldo - even after he asked to leave after he refused to come on as a substitute versus Spurs [Tottenham Hotspur]."
