The now former Manchester United forward had got himself into a number of troubles but the famous Piers Morgan interview most likely showed him the exit.
During the interview, the 37-year-old claimed that Manchester United had failed to show him respect. He also slammed Rooney, his former team-mate, that he is criticizing him because his career is still kicking.
Rooney is now a football pundit after retiring from professional football.
Ronaldo had apologized to the fan for his wrong doing, but the fan turned a blind eye.
He said: “I would like to apologize for my outburst and, if possible, I would like to invite this support to watch a game at Old Trafford as sign of fair-play and sportsmanship.”
