Cristiano Ronaldo ‘done dirty’ by Joao Cancelo during awkward Portugal training

Manchester City ace Joao Cancelo is the latest to seemingly ignore Cristiano Ronaldo in the Portugal World Cup camp following his controversial interview with Piers Morgan.

Earlier today (November 15), the Manchester United hero, 37, received little acknowledgement from Bruno Fernandes in the Selecao dressing room after footage was released from his upcoming bombshell interview with outspoken Talk TV host Morgan.

Speaking out on a disappointing start to the 2022/23 campaign, Ronaldo addresses a lack of "respect" for newly-installed coach Erik ten Hag as well as stating a strongly-held belief that the Glazer family "don't care about the club".

The United hierarchy are understood to be enraged by the unauthorised two-part interview, which is set to air on Wednesday (November 16) and Thursday (November 17) this week, and are already in talks with lawyers over their favoured course of disciplinary action.

The jaw-dropping interview was seemingly not taken well by Fernandes, who appeared to push past the five-time Ballon d'Or winner in the Portugal dressing room whilst momentarily ignoring his outstretched hand.

Out on the training pitches, Ronaldo was then rebuffed by Joao Cancelo; when making his way over to greet the City defender, Cancelo aggressively thrust his head towards Ronaldo before pushing him off his body.

The second frosty reception was picked up by eagle-eyed fans on social media with supporters ridiculing Ronaldo for turning his team-mates against him. "The Portuguese team is gonna suffer and go out early," commented one fan. "This draw with Piers is causing an issue with other professionals!"

"You can see there's tension in that ground," slated a second. While a sympathetic third stated: "I’m a Messi fanboy but I feel sorry for Ronaldo, Cancelo didn’t have to dirty him like that."

Despite the two cold receptions, Portugal midfielder Joao Mario was quick to state there is no issue with Ronaldo in the Portugal camp. "It was a joke between them [Fernandes and Ronaldo], they play together," defended Mario when quizzed on Fernandes' apparent snubbing.
