After Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest display of his “disproportionate ego” at Manchester United, it was suggested that he retire after the World Cup.
Former Real Madrid forward Antonio Cassano has ripped into Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo, saying the player has a “disproportionate ego” and puts “his teammates in difficulties.”
Ronaldo, 37, is now regarded as the worst player at Old Trafford after portions of his blistering interview with Piers Morgan were released on Wednesday and Thursday ahead of time. Erik ten Hag previously penalized him for leaving the stadium before the game against Tottenham in October and refusing to come off the bench.

The rest of the Manchester United team would be delighted to see Ronaldo leave, and the team is even considering firing the five-time Ballon d’Or winner. However, former Italy striker Cassano would prefer a different outcome: Ronaldo’s retirement following the World Cup.
The 40-year-old thinks that the Portugal captain, who pushed to leave Old Trafford in the summer, should have gone back to Sporting Lisbon, and that he should hang up his boots after the tournament in Qatar this winter. In addition, Cassano criticized Ronaldo for failing to congratulate Karim Benzema on winning the Ballon d’Or, claiming that he put “his selfishness first” at the expense of his coaches and teammates. This accusation stands in stark contrast to Lionel Messi’s.
According to Sport Witness, he stated, “Now, I say that Ronaldo does not have the confidence to confess that for three years he is no longer himself.” “He had to relocate to Sporting Lisbon this year and left after the World Cup.
“He causes problems for the coaches and his teammates. To congratulate Benzema, he didn’t even make a call. He believes he can continue playing until he is 50 and has a blindfold over his eyes. Dear Ronaldo, I’ll give you one piece of advice: win the World Cup.
Antonio Cassano has pushed Cristiano Ronaldo to retire this winter.
“He cannot continue to act out and cannot believe he is still capable of playing at a high level. He has a wildly inflated ego, although he differs from Messi in that Messi can also play while seated. Physically, he is unable to continue. He is reiterating that he prioritizes his own interests above all else.”
Although Ronaldo almost surely played his final match for United, it seems extremely improbable that he will call it a career. The legendary player who once represented Juventus and Los Blancos is still in incredible physical shape and has previously stated he can play at a high level for many more years.
Finding a new team to play for, though, could be challenging for the all-time leading goal scorer now that his time at United is all but finished. After Ruben Amorim declared his adoration for Ronaldo, rumors of a return to Sporting began to circulate.
