Manchester United has released a statement following an interview its star player Cristiano Ronaldo held.

The club stated that it will consider its response after the full facts have been established about the interview.

It says its focus remains on preparing for the second half of the season and continuing the momentum, belief and togetherness being built among the players, manager, staff and fans 

The 37-year-old had claimed that there had been "no evolution" at the club since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure in 2013. 

He also claimed that the club showed a lack of "empathy" when his young daughter was hospitalised in July.

Ronaldo has not played because of an unspecified illness since he captained United in their 3-1 defeat at Aston Villa on 6 November.

He was dropped for the Premier League game at Chelsea last month by Ten Hag after refusing to come on as a substitute against Tottenham three days earlier.
