Cristiano Ronaldo eviscerated Manchester United in clips published ahead of a TV interview as the Portuguese soccer superstar’s time with the Premier League club appears to be coming to an end.

Ronaldo appeared on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" and said he felt "betrayed" by the club and claimed the senior officials have tried to force him out. He was left off the squad for the team’s match against Fulham on Sunday. The club said Ronaldo was battling an undisclosed illness.

He was asked whether he felt Manchester United was trying to force him out.

"Yes, not only the coach, but another two or three guys around the club. I felt betrayed," he said.

He was then asked whether senior executives at Manchester United were trying to force him out.

"I don’t care. People should listen to the truth," he responded. "Yes, I felt betrayed, and I felt like some people don’t want me here, not only this year, but last year too."

SENEGAL FORWARD SADIO MANÉ TO POSSIBLY MISS ENTIRE WORLD CUP DUE TO LEG INJURY

Ronaldo appeared to be angered by manager Erik ten Hag. He has been in and out of the Manchester United lineup since he rejoined the team ahead of the start of the 2021-22 Premier League season. In 30 matches played last year, he started 27 of them. This season, he has started four of the 10 matches he has played in. Manchester United is 14 matches into the 2022-23 season.

"I don’t have respect for him because he doesn’t show respect for me," Ronaldo said of Ten Hag. "If you don’t have respect for me, I’m never going have respect for you."

Ronaldo is set to play in the World Cup for Portugal as the Premier League season goes on a break. He only has one goal this season. He rejoined Manchester United after spending over three years with Juventus at Serie A. He spent six seasons at Man U from 2003 to 2009 before joining Real Madrid.

Congresswoman-Elect Anna Paulina Luna Addresses AOC Comparison, Talks GOP Outreach To Hispanics

Congresswoman-elect Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) responded to comparisons to far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and discussed the GOP pivot to Hispanic outreach during an interview with The Daily Wire.

Luna, 33, flipped a blue seat in the 13th district by a healthy eight-point margin on Tuesday, contributing to Florida’s red wave.

Referring to Luna by her initials, APL, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk told The Washington Post last week, “APL — possibly against AOC. That’ll be really fun.” We asked Luna about the comparison, noting the Republican’s youth and standing as a “new” type of conservative, seeming opposition to AOC and the far-leftism of “The Squad.”

“I do think that my ideas are better than theirs, and I also think I am way more qualified than they are,” Luna responded. “I think their message is one of hate and division, and mine is one of unity and common sense. I am their polar opposite.”

“But I also think Charlie’s right in the sense that I am a younger representative. I think I’m actually the youngest Republican female representative in the conference,” she added. Luna turned 33 years old in May, the same age as AOC, a self-professed Democratic socialist. “I think that I’m very relatable, which is important for younger generations.”

“I have a different background, too,” Luna said. The congresswoman-elect was raised by her mother, who is of Mexican descent; her father, who is Mexican and German, struggled with addiction and was out of the picture during her childhood.

Luna went on to say she “looks forward to having discussions” with members of “The Squad,” feeling “immune” to some of the typical attacks from Democrats.

“I think the things that they would typically revert back to, especially with identity politics, I don’t think that it works the same against me,” she told The Daily Wire. “So we’ll have to have real discussions. How are they gonna tell me that I’m anti-immigration or that I’m racist or that I haven’t served or that I don’t know what it’s like to experience all these things? I’ve literally grown up in the most abnormal circumstances. I am immune from it, I guess.”

The GOP saw huge Latino gains in the state of Florida. Luna said Hispanic voices within the GOP are “incredibly important,” especially now, as she sees Democrats shift focus from the black vote toward Hispanics. “We are the largest voting minority in the country,” she added.

“I think conservative media really needs to start talking to these people, because the fact is the Left is now pivoting from the issue of the black vote, and they’re now focusing solely on the Hispanic vote,” Luna said. “They’ve basically bought up all of our conservative media in Miami-Dade, they started to launch ‘fact-checking’ operations against conservative Hispanic influencers online saying that they’re pushing disinformation.”

“Part of the reason why the Hispanic vote went so red is a majority of us are entrepreneurs, small business owners, — we have doctors, lawyers, congressmen,” Luna explained. “But when you have leadership in the DNC like Nancy Pelosi calling us ‘crop pickers‘; things like having Jill Biden refer to us as ‘breakfast tacos,’ that doesn’t sit well with anyone. I mean, it’s just insulting.”

“A lot of people, especially those who’ve fled communism and socialism, saw what was happening with the Biden administration choosing to allow massive illegal immigration, but knowingly turning away people from Cuba that had general claims for political asylum, because they’re being prosecuted in their countries — I think that these are all factors as to why the vote went so red,” the Republican said.

Luna added that many Hispanics, including herself, are raised in the Catholic faith and do not support the abortion extremism of the Left, though Democrats are “pushing massive disinformation” on the issue.

“1,000 percent” the GOP should focus on Hispanic outreach, the congresswoman-elect asserted.
