Cristiano Ronaldo has threatened to reveal the truth related to his transfer stand-off with Manchester United in a bombshell interview in a couple of weeks. The Portuguese forward is desperate to move away from Old Trafford this summer and is looking to join a club that can offer Champions League football.

Ronaldo started on the bench in Manchester United's opening weekend defeat by Brighton before starting the humiliating 4-0 loss at Brentford. According to a report by Sportsmail, United are determined that Ronaldo will not be sold in the final few weeks of the summer transfer window. But the 37-year-old replied to a fan account on Instagram and accused the media of spreading lies.

Ronaldo further added that he has been keeping a tally of articles about him and only five out of 100 were accurate. There are just over two weeks until the closure of the transfer window, which is seemingly when Ronaldo will give his side of events.

In his message, Ronaldo wrote: 'They know the truth when they interview in a couple weeks. The media is telling lies. I have a notebook and in the last few months of the 100 news I made, only 5 were right. Imagine how it is. Stick with that tip.'

Here's the reply by Ronaldo:

 

Ronaldo missed much of United's pre-season amid speculation over his future, with the club stating that he was absent for personal reasons. United have got off to a horrible start to the campaign as they have suffered defeats to Brighton and Brentford.

After coming on as a substitute against Brighton, Ronaldo played the entirety of the 4-0 loss to Brentford. After re-joining United last year Ronaldo scored 24 goals for United across all competitions.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Ronaldo is part of a group of senior players at United who have advised the club's hierarchy to invest in further signings. There are also some reports doing rounds which suggest that Ronaldo is having a negative influence on the team but his upcoming interview may well dismiss those claims.

United will face Liverpool on Monday night as Erik ten Hag's side go in search of a much-needed win.
