DBasia.news – Dwight Yorke, a former Manchester United player, admitted that he spoke to Cristiano Ronaldo before the striker left Old Trafford. At that time, Ronaldo mentioned some of Man United’s problems.
Cristiano Ronaldo finally broke off his relationship with Manchester United. He left on a free transfer after his contract was terminated.
Ronaldo’s relationship with Man United became tenuous after the striker conducted an interview with Piers Morgan. He revealed several things that cornered the Red Devils.
Apparently before speaking to Piers Morgan, Ronaldo first confided in Dwight Yorke. Ronaldo revealed a series of reasons that made him disappointed with Man United.
“I had a one-on-one conversation with Ronaldo before I headed to Australia. At that time, I was observing for 10 days and had access behind the scenes at Manchester United. I was lucky because Ronaldo gave me 30 minutes and we talked at length,” Dwight Yorke told The National.
“I realize there are people out there who are not happy with anything that’s happening at Man United. Ronaldo expressed that clearly and honestly to me.”
Hearing this, Dwight Yorke believed that it was only a matter of time before Ronaldo and Man United parted ways.
“Ronaldo is obviously unhappy. He feels Man United is not developing the way he wants and he demands a few things from the manager.”
“I think if it’s not good, there will be something that we can finally see. So when it all came out, I knew it was a ticking time bomb,” explained Dwight Yorke.
Now Ronaldo has chosen a new path by accepting Al-Nassr’s proposal. Even though he is 37 years old, Ronaldo is still the player with the highest salary after receiving 200 million euros per season.
