Cristiano Ronaldo has hit out at Manchester United’s controversial US owners the Glazer family by claiming: ‘They don’t care about the club’.

The Portuguese superstar revealed he has not exchanged a single word with any of the family since his return to Old Trafford last September.

‘The owners of the club, the Glazers, they don’t care about the club,’ he said. ‘I mean, professional sport, as you know this, Manchester (United) is a marketing club. They will get its money from the marketing – the sport, they don’t really care, in my opinion.’

Ronaldo said he ‘never’ talks to the owners and revealed his fears that the club will remain behind rivals Manchester City and Liverpool for years to come.

‘You have some things inside the club which don’t help Manchester (United) reach the top level as City, Liverpool and even now Arsenal, for example… which is complicated, it’s difficult.

‘It’s hard, in my opinion, it will be hard for Manchester (United) to be in the top of the game in the next two, three years.’

Ronaldo also urged fans to continue their protest against the Glazers’ ownership.

He said: ‘The fans, they’re always right. I think the fans should know the truth – should now that the players… we want the best for the club.

‘I want the best of the club. This is why I am coming to Manchester United. This is why I love this club.’
