Football News: Cristiano Ronaldo to be fined whopping sum after going all-out against Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag

Just hours after Manchester United's morale-boosting 2-1 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage, the 37-year-old went unhinged in an interview with Piers Morgan.

Cristiano Ronaldo was absent due to illness and missed the Carabao Cup victory versus Aston Villa.

The Portugal skipper was determined to leave the club last summer but was rejected, and he has had to play second fiddle to Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial thus far this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo also held a strong dislike for Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag, someone with whom he has had a contentious relationship since Erik ten Hag's summer arrival from Ajax.

Although the club has declined to comment on Cristiano Ronaldo's interview, it will be viewed negatively as he faces a £1 million fine.

Cristiano Ronaldo is estimated to earn £515,385 per week, so the figure should hardly be a significant sum. The £1 million is roughly equivalent to two weeks' salary, a common punishment at Old Trafford.

It will be intriguing to watch whether Manchester United decides to take additional action, as some supporters and commentators likely believe the player cannot possibly play for the club again.

According to a report, Erik ten Hag will convene with Red Devils officials today to talk about the matter; hence, additional punishments may be announced later in the day.

Erik ten Hag is well-known for his unwavering commitment to team discipline, having already benched Cristiano Ronaldo and deemed some of his prior conduct "unacceptable."

Previously, in October, Cristiano Ronaldo was fined two weeks' salary for failing to enter the game as a substitution during another match against Tottenham Hotspur. Instead, the forward elected to leave the field before the contest's conclusion.

Wayne Rooney has recently asserted that Cristiano Ronaldo's behaviour has, at times, been "unacceptable" and that he is an undesirable "distraction" for the team. Cristiano Ronaldo has finally responded to Wayne Rooney's remarks, suggesting that the former England captain may be envious of him.

"I don't know why he criticises me so badly... probably because he finished his career and I'm still playing at a high level," Ronaldo said in an exclusive interview with Piers Morgan, in an interview with Talk TV," Cristiano Ronaldo said. "I'm not going to say I'm looking better than him. Which is true."
