Once comrades at United, now in conflict at a distance, the relationship between the five-time Golden Ball winner and the Mancunian legend quickly changed.
The two men have been throwing spades at each other for several days.

He wouldn't accept it at all.
Manchester United are rebuilding and don't need that.
Ronaldo just has to put his head down, work, and be ready to play when the coach needs him.
If he does that, he'll be an asset.
If he doesn't, he will become an unwanted distraction.
