Eric Cantona claims Cristiano Ronaldo's failure to 'accept that he is getting older' led to his bitter Man United exit... as the Red Devils icon offers sympathy to the Portuguese star by admitting 'the end of a career is like dying'

Daily Mail | January 14, 2023

Manchester United legend Eric Cantona believes Cristiano Ronaldo's refusal to accept that he is nearing the end of his career led to his bitter exit from Old Trafford.

Ronaldo returned to the 'Theatre of Dreams' in 2021 and netted 24 goals in all competitions in his first season back at the club.

However, he fell out of favour under Erik ten Hag at the start of the current campaign, and subsequently gave a tell-all interview to Piers Morgan where he criticised the manager and the club.
