The Cristiano Ronaldo saga took undoubtedly its sharpest turn yet on Sunday evening when clips aired of an interview the Manchester United star held with Piers Morgan.
In a staggering attack, the forward took aim at his club side for 'disrespecting' him, and picked out Erik ten Hag, Ralf Rangnick and Wayne Rooney in particular as personnel to criticise.
It seems almost certain his United career is now over - how could he possibly play for them again? - but his career isn't. He'll head to the World Cup with Portugal this week, and will be on the hunt for a new club side as soon as he leaves the Middle East.
