Manchester United have been left furious at Cristiano Ronaldo's explosive attack on the club and manager Erik ten Hag, sources have told ESPN.

United are particularly angry at the timing of Ronaldo's interview with Piers Morgan, during which he said he "doesn't respect" Ten Hag, coming just hours after the team had made a point of demonstrating their team spirit and togetherness with a dramatic win at Fulham on Sunday.

United have so far refused to comment on the interview, with sources telling ESPN they are keen to keep the emphasis on what they believe was a significant victory at Craven Cottage, secured thanks to Alejandro Garnacho's stoppage-time goal.

Privately, however, the club are disputing a number of points raised by Ronaldo.
