How Twitter reacted to Cristiano Ronaldo's extraordinary interview

Who would have ever thought that the week leading up to a winter World Cup would be dominated by Cristiano Ronaldo burning all the remaining bridges he had with Manchester United?

It's been a seismic few days in the world of football, and it's somehow come off the back of one of the Red Devils' better days this season after Alejandro Garnacho netted a stoppage-time winner against Fulham.

But that good feeling wasn't going to last long. A couple of hours after the full-time, Piers Morgan announced that a bombshell interview with a disgruntled Ronaldo was on the way.

And then five nights of madness ensued. There were many people Ronaldo sought to go after, starting with current United manager Erik ten Hag.

There were others in the firing line, too. Former teammates Gary Neville and Wayne Rooney are no longer Ronaldo's friends anymore, apparently.

Even the kitchen staff weren't safe from Ronaldo's tyranny.

To save a bit of face, Ronaldo did also insist that he loves United fans and that he is with them in their criticisms against the Glazer family.

Eternal rival Lionel Messi was one of few people praised by Ronaldo in the interview. How thoughtful.

Ronaldo insisted that he returned to Manchester United because former boss Sir Alex Ferguson convinced him not to join rivals Manchester City - a claim the Premier League champions have denied.

The general consensus - unless you have some weird Ronaldo obsession - is that CR7 has lost a PR war of his own making, a serial winner flaming out as a loser.

So to round off, here is a random assortment of miscellaneous tweets criticising Ronaldo and questioning his judgement, both funny and serious. Consume them now before Elon Musk nukes Twitter into oblivion.
