Man United's Victor Lindelof shoots down question about controversial Cristiano Ronaldo interview

Manchester United's Victor Lindelof has insisted he will not answer questions about Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo stunned the entire world of football when a teaser of his interview with Piers Morgan was released on Sunday night, with the forward admitting that he 'doesn't respect' Erik ten Hag, while also criticising United, the Glazers, Wayne Rooney and Ralf Rangnick.

The full interview will be aired in full on TalkTV on Wednesday and Thursday night but the promotional material released so far has already been nothing short of explosive. United responded to the news of the interview on Monday and said: "Manchester United notes the media coverage regarding an interview by Cristiano Ronaldo.

"The club will consider its response after the full facts have been established. 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."

Ahead of the full interview with Ronaldo being released, the break for the World Cup has started and Lindelof was asked about his teammate by Fotbollskanalen on Tuesday, but gave a very short reply.

Lindelof said: "I do not know. I will not answer that question. You get to take the next question. It's my decision [not to talk about it]."

Although Lindelof did not comment on the interview, he claimed that was his decision, not a request from United.
