JAKARTA - The Olympic gold medalist, Usain Bolt, admitted that he was very sad if Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United. According to him, the player has become the "heartpiece" of the team nicknamed the Red Devils.
Bolt said he could understand the striker's criticism of the club. In an interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo claimed he had been "tricked" by MU and disrespected Erik ten Hag for feeling disrespected by the manager.
As a result of his controversial interview, Ronaldo is now in danger of being expelled from the club. A number of parties have asked MU management to terminate the player's contract.
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville was among them. Meanwhile, Bolt, who is a loyal supporter of MU, did not expect that to happen.
"Yes, I'm sad to see him leave, you know what I mean?" Bolt said when asked Sky Sports.
"That's Cristiano Ronaldo, as far as I can say, he is Manchester United's heartbeat. He did very well for the club."
"For me, it will stress seeing him leave, but I understand what he said. I watched the interview, so I know what happened," Bolt continued.
Cristiano Ronaldo became the top scorer for Manchester United with 24 goals in all competitions last season, but his role has been limited since Ten Hag took over the team ahead of the new season.
The 37-year-old has only started four Premier League games this season, and has only scored one goal.
