Ron rant won’t Mar our hopes

CRISTIANO Ronaldo’s broken relationship with Manchester United won’t overshadow Portugal’s World Cup preparations, according to teammate Joao Mario.

Ronaldo (below) launched an amazing attack against Erik ten Hag, the Glazers, the board and ex-United heroes ahead of the trip to Qatar.

But Benfica ace Mario said the saga will not affect the national team. “Everyone always speaks about Cristiano, so it’s fine for us,” he said. “He’s always happy when he is in the national team – I saw him and he was quite fine as always. “As he has said before, for him it is always a pleasure to be here. I do not believe that the interview adds more pressure on him or us.”
