Gary Neville urges Man Utd to ‘terminate’ Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract after interview

Gary Neville has urged Manchester United to "terminate" Cristiano Ronaldo's contract following his interview with Piers Morgan.

Ronaldo admitted he feels "betrayed" by the club in an explosive conversation with the broadcaster, putting his future at Old Trafford in doubt. The veteran forward also criticised the United board, owners, his team-mates, current manager Erik ten Hag and former interim boss Ralf Rangnick.

As a result, ex-United defender Neville has called on the club to sack Ronaldo in the coming days and fears it will set a dangerous precedent if the Red Devils allow him to stay.

“No, and I don't think he wants a way back," explained Neville. "He wouldn't have done this interview if he wanted a way back. This interview was one he knew would bring about the headlines it has and would bring the end of his Manchester United career.

“I'm wondering what Manchester United are doing because the reality is they know they have to terminate Cristiano's contract or else they basically open up a precedent that any player can criticise them in future.

“I agree with some of the things Cristiano has said and many Manchester United fans will agree with many of the things Cristiano has said but if you're an employee and you say those things, your employment has to terminate.

“Manchester United no doubt have to do that in the next few days. Cristiano probably wants that as well. Both (player and club) have backed themselves into a corner.”

United are understood to be waiting for the full interview to air before making a final decision on Ronaldo's future. The second and final part of the interview is set to be broadcast on Thursday night.

The club are also said to be exploring whether they can sack Ronaldo as they believe fining him and forcing the player to apologise would not be a sufficient punishment.

Ronaldo's future at Old Trafford has been in question for a number of months after he reportedly told the club he wanted to leave during the summer, only to fail to secure a move. The 37-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season.
