A giant mural outside Old Trafford featuring Cristiano Ronaldo has been removed by Manchester United.
Ronaldo can be seen on the poster alongside some of the club’s iconic No 7s as part of the ‘More than a shirt’ campaign.
But just days after accusing Manchester United of ‘betraying’ him, disbelieving his reasons for a late pre-season return, he revealed that he disrespects manager Erik ten Hag and that the Glazer family don’t care about United as a club. the mural has now been removed.

In the club’s ‘More than a shirt’ campaign over No. 7, United removed it just days after Ronaldo made serious allegations, including that the club had ‘betrayed’ him
Removal experts saw the giant poster taken down on Wednesday, just hours before the first part of his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan airs in full on TalkTV.
The poster also featured David Beckham, Bryan Robson and current women’s player and Lionesses star Ella Toone.
Morgan took to Twitter after a clip of the poster’s takedown emerged, writing, “Wow.. so petty!”
There is growing resentment towards Ronaldo on the back of this interview and many in the club believe he played his last game for United.

Ronaldo’s teammates only became aware of the Morgan interview when they flew back to Manchester from London after Sunday’s 2-1 win over Fulham, their last game before the World Cup.
Sportsmail revealed that United’s lawyers are looking into ways to fire Ronaldo, who sees his contract expire in the summer, after saying in the interview that he felt betrayed by the club and had no respect for manager Erik ten Hag.
They will watch the full interview, which will air on Wednesday and Thursday, and “will consider their response after the full facts are established.”
Another option being considered is for United and Ronaldo to agree to tear up his £500,000-a-week deal so he can leave as a free agent.
Ronaldo has proven to be a popular marketing tool on murals outside Old Trafford, but is unlikely to ever see one again following his allegations against the club this week.
Sportsmail revealed that Ronaldo and his agent Jorge Mendes met with Bayern Munich last week as he made plans to leave the club.
United will not welcome fans back to Old Trafford until December 21, when they host Championship high-flyers Burnley in the Carabao Cup.
The front of Old Trafford, above the club shop, will look distinctly different when the fans return and Ronaldo is likely to have seen much of the signage spray-painted in and around the ground.
