Emmanuel Petit, a former Arsenal midfielder, asserted that Manchester United players no longer want Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 37-year-old, in Petit’s opinion, “pollutes” everyone and has an “oversized ego.”
With his future at Old Trafford looking bleak, Ronaldo was left out of Erik ten Hag’s squad for the 1-1 draw at Chelsea.
Petit has now said everyone at United is tired of the five-time Ballon d’Or.
“He tires everyone: the supporters, his teammates… They don’t want him anymore in the locker room, he pollutes everyone so much.
“He has an exceptional career, when he stops we will all be unanimous in saying it, but his behaviour is so individualistic. His message yesterday on social media. You know you don’t like what’s going on with your club, you can’t stand your coach Ten Hag anymore, you feel like you are disrespected for what you have done, but your status no longer exists!
“You are no longer the same player, you have been demoted, you have suffered a downgrade, but you do not accept it because your ego is so oversized. Say it real! It can’t be defensible,” Petit said on the Rothen S’enflamme show.
