What happened to Cristiano Ronaldo's 'truth' bomb? Manchester United's wantaway star remains silent

  /  autty

A month has passed since Cristiano Ronaldo promised to publicly address 'lies' told about him this summer when he attempted to engineer a way out of Manchester United.

The forward was desperate to leave but no suitable offer was forthcoming, meaning the wantaway United legend was forced to stay at Old Trafford.

Clearly irked by reports about his future, Ronaldo vowed to give a tell-all interview in a couple of weeks - but over a month has gone by since that promise and Ronaldo has kept his counsel.

'They know the truth when they interview in a couple weeks', wrote Ronaldo, commenting on a post by cr7.o_lendario on Instagram.

'The media is telling lies. I have a notebook and in the last few months of the 100 news I made, only 5 were right. Imagine how it is. Stick with that tip.'

The 37-year-old wanted to play in the Champions League but found few suitors interested or able to stump up the cash.

There was one concrete offer on the table from Saudi Arabia but Ronaldo still holds ambitions of playing at the highest level.

He remains in situ at United and Erik ten Hag has used the five-time Ballon d'Or winner sparingly, largely consigning him to a place on the bench.

Ronaldo scored his 700th goal when he came off the bench against Everton recently and started Sunday's clash with Newcastle.

He was unable to make the difference and Eddie Howe's men took a hard-fought point from Old Trafford.

It remains to be seen whether Ronaldo will stay at the club for the duration of the season or again try to orchestrate an exit through agent Jorge Mendes in January.

For now he remains silent and the promise of his tell-all interview is as yet unfulfilled.
