Mark Bosnich says Cristiano Ronaldo must leave Man Utd after Piers Morgan interview and tells Erik ten Hag to ‘step in’

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner also confirmed it was Sir Alex Ferguson who convinced him to snub rivals Manchester City to rejoin United.

But the 37-year-old reckons the club has not progressed since the legendary boss’ retirement nine years ago – then added he does not respect current gaffer Erik ten Hag in a bombshell claim.

Now Bosnich reckons Ronaldo – who also took a dig at former team-mate Wayne Rooney – is better off outside of the club after burning his bridges.

The Australian, 50, said: “The best thing for both parties is to part ways.

“There are two sides to every story, so be aware of what’s going on beneath the table.

“From Ronaldo’s perspective, there are some things going on that need clearing up.

“Erik ten Hag needs to step in.

“Take away the Ronaldo situation and he is building something – they are close to the top four.”;

Manchester United chiefs will sit down with Ten Hag today to discuss their course of action and the punishment they will dish out to Ronaldo, who will return to Carrington after the World Cup.

Bosnich added: “This has been festering for a while.

“Ronaldo used “betrayal”; which implies the manager and others around the manager are being disingenuous.

“There are certain lines that when you go across are very difficult to go back.

“The ball is in Ten Hag and the club’s court, they need to reply to this and clear it up.

“We want to hear what they say in response.”;

Ronaldo was expected to make a transfer exit in the summer but ended up staying put with the club he left in 2009 for Real Madrid.

However, after his dream return turned into a nightmare, Morgan pinpointed the appointment of Ten Hag as a major reason for the dramatic turn of events which he expects will result in a departure in 2023.

He said: “Cristiano loves Manchester United, he loves the fans but it’s a stagnated club and he can’t understand why not and feels he needs to speak out.

“Erik ten Hag decided to scold, berate and publicly humiliate him.

“Cristiano is aware what he said may mean he has to leave.

“He is a winner and wants to win big trophies.

“Do you put up with it, die a horrible silent death as Gary Neville and Wayne Rooney snipe at him or do you stand up and have your say – the interview is brutally honest, there’s more to it than people realise.

“Yes, Cristiano’s got a big ego and wants trophies.

“Ten Hag has decided to make an example of him, drop him, suspend him and not show some empathy behind the scenes.

“I find it unlikely he will stay on at Man United.”;
