Manchester United have confirmed they will take “appropriate steps” following Cristiano Ronaldo’s sensational interview.

The Red Devils announced earlier in the week that they would await the interview in its entirety before making a decision on how to proceed.

But after five nights of drama and discussions on various issues, United have now confirmed they will take action.

“Manchester United took action this morning in response to Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent media interview,” the club said in a statement. “We will not be making any further comments until this process is complete.”

According to the Daily Mail, the steps mentioned are the termination of Ronaldo’s contract. The association accuses the superstar of breach of contract and wants to end the cooperation immediately and without compensation. CR7 would lose £16m in unpaid wages as a result.
