Piers Morgan has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo approached him about doing a controversial interview about his troubles at Manchester United this season and his conflicting relationship with Erik ten Hag.
The full two-part sit-down interview will be showcased on Wednesday evening, with Ronaldo expected to tell-all on United and their woes since his return to Old Trafford last season.
Morgan himself admits he maintains a good friendship with the Portuguese star and admitted that he felt compelled to do the interview after being contacted by Ronaldo.
'Cristiano asked me to do it. Simple as that. I didn't ask him, he asked me. He's been thinking about this for a while, it's no secret he has build up deep frustration about what has been happening at United,' Morgan told talkSPORT.
'He feels he has to speak out, he knows it will be incendiary, will rattle some changes, but he also feels he should be doing this. He knows people will criticise him but he also knows what he is saying is true.
'Sometimes the truth hurts. He's been thinking about this for a while and I got a call. The World Cup is about to start, it gives him a month away from United and it gives time for what he has said to settle in. He can come back and resolve things.
'He loves Manchester United and the fans but what he has come,' said Morgan.

they all say Ronaldo is the problem? Manchester United have won no single trophy for the past 6 years. was Ronaldo also the cause? Manchester united haven't won the premier league since Sir Alex Ferguson retirement, was Ronaldo also the cause? Manchester united have only won three cup since Sir Alex Ferguson retirement, was Ronaldo also the cause? 1 carrabao cup, Europa league cup, and 1 FA cup. Manchester united haven't played in Champions league Semi final since Sir Alex Ferguson retirement, was Ronaldo also the cause? no Manchester player have scored 20+ goals in one season since Van persie last did it. Manchester United have changed so many coaches since Sir Alex Ferguson retirement, was Ronaldo also the cause?..
What are you talking about? Stop being a fun boy of a player who is in denial with the fact that he is no longer a high value player and he is only high value on Instagram now. Who is better Rashford or CR7? Be a fun of football/soccer first. And even Real Madrid got rid of him no big club wanted last season when he was crying to leave because he wants to play in the UEFA champions league. Stop defending rubbish. He needs Manchester United more than Manchester United need him because from here where is he going to go. He should do the right retire with dignity and became a model and a businessman like David Beckham did.

👑 Piers Mason: You said Ten Hag disrespected you, can you tell us how cuz from the look of things, Ten Hag has really been doing everything to make you happy C. Ronaldo: After our win against Real sociedad, the next day Ten Hag brought sweets and biscuits to training, he shared it for everybody and refused to give me, I asked him why, he said bcuz i was the oldest person in the squad, let the children eat first Ah mean I'm i not also my mother's child 😂

But can u remember something, without ronaldo we’ve won everything, before he came we were already successful, so that’s not the point man, Liverpool spent more than 20 years without a premier league trophy, is it the fault of Gerrard or what!! Just accept the fact that, Ronaldo wants to play regularly that’s why he feels he is disrespected, he can’t do what the coach requires him to do, we agree that he is a special one and has to be treated special, but he has to accept the fact that he is not thesame Ronaldo we knew 10 years ago!!!!
