Manchester United will hold further internal discussions today over the Cristiano Ronaldo situation and a possible punishment for the player after talks also took place yesterday.
Ronaldo has given an explosive interview to Piers Morgan on TalkTV, in which he has hit out at manager Erik ten Hag and accused the club of trying to force him out.
In the latest footage leaked from the interview, the Portugal international has also hit out at the Glazer family, the owners of Man Utd, for not caring about the team.
According to Fabrizio Romano in his exclusive Daily Briefing, there will be further talks taking place today, with a fine for Ronaldo looking like one possible course of action.
“Manchester United spoke internally on Monday and they will keep discussing on Tuesday about the solution of this story and the next step,” Romano explained.
“They’re checking all words said by Cristiano and will be clear on their position. People inside the club feel that it’s almost over between them and Ronaldo after this interview – it’s going to be very difficult to come back from this.
“A fine is a possibility considered internally, while discussions are still taking place.”
United fans will be bitterly disappointed with how Ronaldo is handling his situation, as it looks like it could seriously tarnish his reputation for good.
The 37-year-old has enjoyed a legendary playing career, and will surely always be remembered fondly for his first spell with the Red Devils under Sir Alex Ferguson, but his second stint has mainly made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Romano added that he was “surprised” by Ronaldo’s behaviour, and gave further insight into how this interview might affect his transfer prospects for January.

I am waiting for the outcome of the investigation,then I will take a position
I less expect this from Ronaldo he has disappointed we the fans with his actions we have had enough from him from all of a sudden saying he wants to leave the club later leaving the pitch before the end of the match and later refusing to enter the pitch when he was called upon that’s too much from him enough is enough a player can’t be bigger than the club not even him Ronaldo
He was asked to warm up really early and was then told to come at the last minutes that is just utter disrespect he has tried his best for this team without him last season man united would have been relegated Ronaldo can never be the problem it will always be the club
Why didn’t he ever have a problem before this club it so obvious
For the record. Manchester United were much better than the are now before Ronaldo came.
How many trophies did you fools win? None. You guys were never better always amongst the rest
glad really that someone else sees what this is the same way i see it,that was the highest form of disrespect asking him to come on three minutes to end of a match that manchester was two goals up, on that i do agree with cr7 ten hag has zero respect for the man but in the same cr7 could have handled it better but i guess the outcome will determine if the means was a step in the right direction
The Sun, Daily Mail, Sky Sports, and many other media houses are funded by the Glazers to spread fake news, rumors, and utter negativity about Cristiano to turn the fans (obviously, those who are still neutral) against him and to spoil his overall performance in the World cup.
yeah I think he’s doing the best thing cause the mistake is him coming to man utd
Erik ten Hag gave a legend a warm-up and let him on at the end of the game to buy time, it was an act of disrespect to Ronaldo.
The greatest mistake of his carrier is coming back to Man United… They destroyed him completely
It’s called a drama
Its high time CR7 existed honorably after the World Cup.
Otherwise the drama he is engaged in will come to haunt his illustrious career.
Open Your mouth and be a fool for a minute.
Say nothing and be a fool forever !
Sorry but he’s paid 500k a week. If I was on that and was asked to come on for 30 seconds I would jump at the chance. Any other job if you’re under a contract and you break that contract by refusing to ‘work’ you would be disciplined and could potentially lose your job. Why is he any different. Yes, he may be the greatest of all time but he’s not bigger than the club
God bless you
Ronaldo should have reacted like professional.
Moral of this story: “Never go back to your ex..”
GOAT😂😂😂
Actually he need to calm down we no he’s star player but that doesn’t make him to abuse the team and the best couch making the team progressing without Ronaldo doing…..when he captain do we win?No! But they need team work that’s what he does not understand he can’t even mark ball again only to pass for him nd play selfish
i will be so proud to hear that greenwood has returned to playing
