Manchester United have told Cristiano Ronaldo that they prefer not to institute a legal action against him over his explosive interview.
The club however said they could sue the Portuguese star for breach of contract if he decides to fight his contract termination.
United released a statement to say they have “initiated appropriate steps” following the 37-year-old bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.
While answering questions, he slammed the club, teammates and manager Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils are now looking to terminate his contract, which was due to run until June, and do not want him back after the World Cup.
United want the matter resolved quickly and are keeping their options open, one of which is to sue the Portugal captain.
The club believe they have grounds to rip apart Ronaldo’s contract as his interview amounts to gross misconduct.
United have to give 14 days in writing of their intention to terminate any player’s contract
