Manchester United legend Gary Neville is sorry seeing the club moving to sack Cristiano Ronaldo.
United’s lawyers are confident they have grounds to sack Ronaldo after he breached the terms of his contract by spurting out allegations against the club, the Glazers, manager Erik ten Hag and his teammates.
Ronaldo accused Ten Hag and United executives of trying to force him out of the club and said they had ‘betrayed him’. The 37-year-old also insists he had no respect for the Dutch manager before launching an attack on Ralf Rangnick.
As a result, the Glazers, chief executive Richard Arnold, football director John Murtough and Ten Hag have decided that it is time for Ronaldo to leave the club.
Neville posted to social media: “Sad that it’s come to a point where arguably United’s greatest ever talent is likely to be sacked. It didn’t need to be like this. A mature conversation a few weeks ago between both parties could have secured a smooth exit.”
