The tension between the Manchester United teammates seemingly appear to be high in Portugal's camp ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup following Cristiano Ronaldo's comments.
In a tell-all interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo claimed that he feels betrayed because United boss Erik ten Hag and club executives are trying to force him out of the club.
This exchange of words is said to have upset the United squad and coaching staff as they reportedly do not understand why he made such remarks while they are also said to be extremely disappointed by the forward's actions.

The midfielder initially seemed to ignore Ronaldo's outstretched hand before he then chose to belatedly shake it and Bruno then went on to make a comment that left the former Real Madrid star's facial expression changed, before Fernandes walked away to greet other teammates in a more cheerful manner

It is yet to be seen if there is more to the clip than meets the eye, but it certainly seems to hint that the 37-year-old's comments have not been well received by those who represent United.

Ronaldo had already jetted off to his home nation and participated in a training session on Monday despite 'illness' having caused him to miss the club's last two matches, against Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup and Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday.
While United have released a statement stating that they will wait for the facts, recent reports have suggested that the striker is set to be fined £1 million (R20 million).
