What a circus.
No longer able to make headlines on the pitch, Ronaldo now has to do sit downs with Piers Morgan to get the attention his gargantuan ego needs.
The handshake snubs of Carragher and Neville were petty as fuck. But going on TV and toasting your employer and boss is off the chart. But if you need attention then you need attention, I guess.
Saying he looks better than Rooney, while true, is also completely pathetic. I don't think anyone (even Rooney) cares. If that's the best retort he has for Rooney's entirely valid (and imo, complimentary) comments on the radio the other day, it's time to hang up his boots I reckon.
Reading between the lines, Ronaldo seems to think being treated consistently with his team mates is some kind of slight on him, and that he needs deity-like status in any squad and from any manager he works under. When he was banging them in 10 years ago, it might have been a trade-off that worked. But when he's nearly 40 and playing like Almiron me nan, of course he's not going to be singled out for special treatment.
When he captained United the other night after kissing and making up with Ten Hag, then calling in sick for a couple of games, I assumed that would be his last United appearance. His sit down with Piers is the final nail in the coffin of his United comeback.
Absolutely tragic for Ron, and everyone - even United fans (but maybe not Fergie) - are laughing at the clown now.
God help the team who signs him next!
