Manchester United News: Cristiano Ronaldo hits out at "lies"
Cristiano Ronaldo appears to be preparing to speak out against the Manchester United transfer controversy that has dominated the summer
Various rumours in recent months have suggested Ronaldo wants to leave Old Trafford, but the Portugal international has struggled to find a new club, and the Red Devils are unwilling to let him go.
Now, Cristiano Ronaldo has slammed the media for spreading misinformation and promised to reveal all about his situation at Manchester United.
Despite the rumours, Ronaldo has played in Manchester United's opening two Premier League games, which ended in defeats to Brighton and Brentford.
However, with the transfer market not closing until September 1, Ronaldo might still leave Old Trafford.
As curiosity about the 37-year-future old's lingers, he took to Instagram to react to a post from a fan page criticising the ongoing rumours.
What did Cristiano Ronaldo say?
Ronaldo stated that most rumours are untrue and will speak out publicly shortly to clarify precisely what has been happening.
"They'll know the truth when they interview in a couple weeks," the Portugal star commented. "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."
Ronaldo's outburst comes amid reports that the Portugal international could yet leave Manchester United before the end of the transfer season at the end of August.
The Red Devils have had a horrible start to the season, and there are suspicions that Ronaldo's desire to leave has harmed the group.
According to Ronaldo, he will not speak publicly until the current transfer window finishes.
That means his immediate club status is uncertain, with conflicting reports on what will happen in the next two weeks.
According to The Athletic, Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag is now prepared to let Cristiano Ronaldo leave the club this summer after growing more upset with the player's actions.
Ronaldo allegedly told United that he wanted to depart in June after missing the entire pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.
Ronaldo was also observed eating alone in the club's training field canteen, indicating that he is separating himself from the rest of the group.

There have been linked to several big European teams, including Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich, but both have passed down the opportunity to sign the forward.
Atletico Madrid is the team most commonly associated with a Ronaldo transfer, but such a move would be difficult for both parties.
After scoring 18 Premier League goals in 2021-22, the 37-year-old has yet to score in two Premier League appearances this season.
