If you don&#8217;t have respect for me, I will never have any for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also gave a shocking verdict on the Red Devils&#8217; former interim manager from last season, Ralf Rangnick, saying: &#8220;If you\u2019re not even a coach, how are you going to be the boss of Manchester United? I\u2019d never even heard of him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Beginning of the End for Ronaldo?<\/h3>\n<p>This interview almost feels like the final nail in the coffin of Ronaldo&#8217;s second stint at Old Trafford. He&#8217;s now burned bridges with the manager, the senior executives and members of the squad as well. The Portuguese forward has had a very frustrating campaign after refusing to show up to the pre-season tour of Australia and also trying to push forward a departure from United in the summer.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8 Cristiano Ronaldo to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/piersmorgan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@PiersMorgan<\/a>: &quot;Man United tried to force me out.
