Cristiano Ronaldo's mother Dolores Aveiro has broken silence after her son's explosive sit down with Piers Morgan led to widespread controversy this week.
Ronaldo spoke out in a two part special where he discussed many problems that surround him at Manchester United, including detailing a lack of respect between him and Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag. His comments caused extreme backlash from media and fans across the globe and has since resulted in United exploring contract termination options while Ronaldo is away with Portugal at the FIFA World Cup.
Dolores shared a post by Portuguese journalist and writer Luis Osorio on her Instagram story which backed Ronaldo's decision to come out fighting against the the Old Trafford boss and powerbrokers. And she appeared to show her support for the post to her 2.9million followers, as it displayed the message that Ronaldo should tell the United manager to 'f*** off'.
The caption read: "As far as the Dutchman who has managed you in these last few months goes, I just want to laugh. How can you compare what you are to a miserable footnote in football history!
"As Alberto Joao Jardim says, tell him to 'f*** off'. I know you already have but it's worth reiterating." Ronaldo's sister Katia also shared the scathing post, adding: "It's worth reading this and sharing."
