Rio Ferdinand Discloses Next Phase For Ronaldo Following Fall-out With Manchester United

Rio Ferdinand is certain that the only thing left for Ronaldo at the moment is to move on from Manchester United as he has lost his spot due to the comments on his interview.

The former Real Madrid attacker made series of serious comments in an interview with TalkTV’s Piers Morgan and Rio Ferdinand believes it’s the end of the road for him.

“I’m quite clear with this situation. It’s over. That love affair with Manchester United is finished. The book has been closed,” the BT Sport pundit said, speaking on Vibe with Five.

“He’s snookered the club and put them into a position where there’s no way back. Whether anyone at the club wanted to keep Ronaldo, they can’t now after what he’s said.

“If that interview was two minutes long and not an hour or two, and he said that comment there, that ‘I don’t respect the manager’, regardless of everything else he’s said that is going to be the reason why he goes.”

Ferdinand added: “You can’t sit here and defend that from Cristiano Ronaldo because, deep down, and I know for a fact, this has all been manufactured for one thing and that’s for him to leave the club.

“I don’t feel like the club will take him back and I don’t think that he wants to come back, that’s a given, and I think this is all manufactured for that reason, that he wants to get out of this place.”
