Cristiano Ronaldo: What TV channel is showing the second part of the Manchester United star's interview with Piers Morgan? What will he say?

The second part of Cristiano Ronaldo’s explosive interview with Piers Morgan is set to air on Thursday evening.

Clips from the interview were released on Sunday evening with Ronaldo’s comments putting his Old Trafford future in question. The Portugal international was already eyeing the exit at Old Trafford and his public attack on the club’s hierarchy looks like the next stage in his attempts to engineer a move away.

A statement from Manchester United said the club would “consider its response after the full facts have been established”. Morgan said on his Twitter account on Wednesday that Ronaldo had done the interview “to set the record straight after six months of lies and smears”.

The Portugal star said that head coach Erik ten Hag and others want him out of Old Trafford, in excerpts of the 90-minute interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored. When asked if United’s hierarchy were trying to force him out of the club, Ronaldo said: “Yes, not only the coach, but another two or three guys around the club. I felt betrayed.”

When quizzed again if senior club executives were trying to oust him, the 37-year-old said: “I don’t care. People should listen to the truth. Yes, I felt betrayed and I felt like some people don’t want me here, not only this year, but last year too.”

Ronaldo said he did not respect boss Ten Hag, admitting: “I don’t have respect for him because he doesn’t show respect for me. If you don’t have respect for me, I’m never gonna have respect for you.”

Ronaldo has claimed Manchester United’s owners, the Glazer family, do not care about the club.

He said: “The Glazers, they don’t care about the club. I mean, professional sport, as you know, Manchester is a marketing club. They will get money from the marketing – the sport, it’s, they don’t really care, in my opinion."

He also addressed the the tragic death of his newborn son earlier this year, admitting it was “the most difficult moment” of his life. Ronaldo’s girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez gave birth to twins earlier this year but while his daughter Bella survived, Angel died.

Ronaldo said on Piers Morgan Uncensored: “Probably the worst moments that I passed through my life, since my father died, when you have a kid that you expect that everything will be normal, and you have that problem, it’s… it’s hard, you know, as a human being.

“Georgina, we had quite difficult moments because we don’t understand why it happened to us. It was difficult to be honest, was very, very difficult to understand what’s going on, in that period of our life.

“As you know, football carries on, so fast, many competitions, football doesn’t stop. We had many, many competitions. And that moment was probably the most difficult moment that I have had in my life. Me and my family, especially Gio, that was tough.”

What else will he say?

“Our focus remains on preparing for the second half of the season and continuing the momentum, belief and togetherness being built among the players, manager, staff, and fans.”
