Former Manchester United defender, Gary Neville, has said the club knows they have to terminate Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he insisted there is “no way back” for Ronaldo at Old Trafford following his explosive criticism of the club and manager Erik ten Hag.

Neville, who was himself criticised by Ronaldo during his interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV, however, insisted he has nothing against the player.

“He wouldn’t have done this interview if he wanted a way back.

“I’m wondering what Man Utd are doing because the reality of it is they know they have to terminate Cristiano’s contract. Or they basically open up a precedent so any player can criticise them in the future,” Neville said.

Neville then added that he had nothing personal against Ronaldo, but was not in support of the timing of the interview.
