Cristiano Ronaldo is a legend of Manchester United and is remembered for his time there, but many fans believe that the Portuguese striker has fallen out with a member of the club.

Ronaldo returned to the club in 2021 after spending many years at Real Madrid and a few years at Juventus. The Portuguese striker made comments criticizing details of the club after he left in 2022.

In a new interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo was asked about Manchester United once again. Ronaldo was asked if he thinks Ruben Amorim's Manchester United has a chance of winning the Premier League title this season.

Man United currently sits 8th in the table with 17 points and eight points behind league leaders Arsenal. Ronaldo says he does not see Man United winning the league due to the amount of points they currently have.

Ronaldo said, "It’s not possible for Manchester United to win the Premier League now because they're so many points behind."

The Portugal international talks about the structure of the club being wrong, but sees that the club has a lot of potential to improve drastically.

Ronaldo calls out the structure and the mindset of certain players in the squad by saying, "Manchester United have a lot of potential and a lot of good players, but some players don't have the right mindset."

Ronaldo expresses love for Manchester United

Despite his words criticizing the club at the moment, Ronaldo continues to express his love for Manchester United after spending so many years there.

Ronaldo mentions his time at the club and says, "It hurts me to see Manchester United like this. I won the Champions League there, I won the Ballon d'Or there. I played there for many years. I won 14 titles there. Manchester United is in my heart, I love that football club."

Ronaldo says he continues to support the team and watches how Manchester United is doing in the Premier League and in other competitions.
