The beginning of the end? Manchester United removed the texture with the image of Cristiano Ronaldo from its stadium

Cristiano Ronaldo can not escape the controversy being only eight days from the debut of the Portuguese national team against Ghana from group H in Qatar World Cup 2022. After the bad relationship with Manchester United and the unfortunate interview with the English journalist Piers Morgan where he defended the team red Manchester and its manager Erik Ten Hag, in the establishment, also made an impact. So much so that this Wednesday, United have shown signs of the end of a relationship.

“Manchester United tried to kick me out. Not only the manager, but also the rest of the people around the club. I felt betrayed,” the 37-year-old footballer had declared in the controversial interview, among other phrases that went directly to the club that saw him born and also to his coach. it emerged that the coach would have asked the player not to return to the club after the World Cup, and it seems that the institution has taken a position

This Wednesday afternoon, on the outskirts of Old Trafford, or also called the Dream theater, a particular situation has arisen. Since Cristiano arrived at the red devils around August 2021 he began to be the visible face, but after so many short circuits between them and amidst rumors about Ten Hag’s statements, the club began to remove, with workers mounted on a crane, the texture that had the exterior of the stadium with the figure of Ronaldo and the presence of former player David Beckham accompanying him.

That image at Old Trafford is gone, as is the relationship between the two, which seems broken. “I have no respect for him because he doesn’t show me any respect. If you don’t show me respect, I will never respect him” the Portuguese said in an interview with the current Manchester United manager, who started working at the club just four months and a few days ago.

Since he arrived at the club, Cristiano’s role has not been as preponderant as the Portuguese perhaps thought and in most of the games he has had to be on the bench or not even be called up. And that was one of the parts that led to a catastrophe, but the interview with the UK reporter on the TV show Piers Morgan uncensored It was the straw that broke the camel’s back in a relationship that seems to have run its course. Or so they are reflected in the Old Trafford aesthetic by removing Cristiano’s face.
