Soccer

It's reported Manchester United are examining if they can fire Cristiano Ronaldo following his explosive interview with Piers Morgan.

The 37 year-old told Morgan he didn't respect manager Erik Ten Hag and he added that he believed the owners - the Glazer family - do not care about the club.

Ronaldo has travelled to Qatar to play at the World Cup with Portugal.

He is under contract at Old Trafford until next summer.

But many people believe he has played his last game for the club.
