Manchester United have “initiated appropriate steps” after Cristiano Ronaldo’s television interview.
The Premier League club issued an update on Friday to confirm steps are under way, but they did not specify what action they were taking.
Ronaldo, 37, criticised the club when he spoke to broadcaster Piers Morgan.
The Portugal star took aim at manager Erik ten Hag, United’s ownership under the Glazer family, and several other members of the club’s hierarchy.
United’s statement read: “Manchester United has this morning initiated appropriate steps in response to Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent media interview.
“We will not be making further comment until this process reaches its conclusion.”

Ronaldo was United’s top scorer with 24 goals in all competitions last term, but he reportedly asked to leave the club following their failure to qualify for the Champions League.
He said in the TalkTV interview: “I feel betrayed. I felt that some people didn’t want me here not only this year, but last year too.”
