Popular Nollywood actor and movie producer, Yul Edochie threw his weight behind embattled Portuguese footballer star, Cristiano Ronaldo after he granted a contentious interview recently.
Ronaldo came under massive criticism following his explosive interview with Piers Morgan, where he spoke about how his club, Manchester United betrayed him.
The 37-year-old striker also publicly criticised his manager, Erik ten Hag, the Manchester United club hierarchy and the club’s owners, the Glazers during the interview

Reacting to the backlash the footballer has faced since the development, Yul Edochie, via a post on his official Instagram page,
hailed Ronaldo and urged him to disregard all that has been said about him.
The actor, who claimed to be a big fan of the footballer, advised him to ignore all those that are distracting and disrespecting him, saying they are doing so because they are jealous of his achievements.
He went on to assure the Portuguese international that he will be supporting whatever club he goes to after the World Cup, if he decides to leave Old Trafford.
In his words, “My man for life. The Greatest. CR7 @cristiano Who dey disrespect you? Dem smoke something? No mind dem, Jealousy wan finish them. DIA FADA! Oil dey your head my man. Your grace is too much for them to handle. Any club you go I go. CR7. The Greatest.”
Ronaldo is currently with his Portuguese colleagues in Qatar where they will be representing their country in the 2022 World Cup which will kick off in the Asian country this month.
There are, however, innuendos that he has played his last game for Manchester United after granting the interview.
