Ronaldo Responds To Man United Criticism, Says “I Talk When I Want To”

For the first time since his explosive interview with Piers Morgan, Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken in front of the public, adamant that “I talk when I want to.”

The five-time winner of the Ballon d’Or surprised the world with a series of videos in which he criticized the Manchester United board, manager Erik ten Hag, and former players like Wayne Rooney after a miserable season of regular bench duty. With the discoveries, he seems to have ended his second stint at Old Trafford, though it has been questioned whether the timing of that interview may have had an effect on the Portugal team as they get ready to launch another World Cup bid.

After making an unannounced appearance at a press conference in Qatar, Ronaldo, who has not apologized, told reporters: “Timing is always timing. It is simple to see how we can choose timings from your perspective. You can write the truth or the falsehood at any given time. I can stop worrying about what people may think. When I want to, I speak. Everyone is aware of who I am and what I stand for.

Ronaldo, who has only scored three goals at the club level this season (2022–23), continued by referring to himself as “bullet proof” and “iron clad,” and then he asked media to stop questioning him about remarks he made on the eve of a significant international competition.

The future of Ronaldo is still up in the air at United, and there have been rumors that his expired contract could be torn up. Portugal will play Ghana on Thursday in their 2022 World Cup opener.
