Ronaldo said, “As I’ve always done throughout my career, I try to live and play respectfully towards my colleagues, my adversaries and my coaches. That hasn’t changed. I haven’t changed. I’m the same person and the same professional that I’ve been for the last 20 years playing elite football, and respect has always played a very important role in my decision making process.”
“I started very young, the older and most experienced players examples were always very important to me.

Unfortunately that’s not always possible and sometimes the heat of the moment get’s the best of us,” Ronaldo further added.
He further mentioned that he is working hard with the team and looks forward for everyone to be together again.
“Right now, I just feel that I have to keep working hard in Carrington, support my teammates and be ready for everything in any given game. Giving in to the pressure is not an option. It never was. This is Manchester United, and united we must stand. Soon we’ll be together again,” Ronaldo concluded his statement.

Then recently, United’s manager Erik Ten Hag had spoken in the favour of Ronaldo, stating that he would like him to continue with United beyond the winter transfer window.
