Manchester United and Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes has revealed he has attempted to hold clear-the-air talks with Cristiano Ronaldo amid his rift with national team manager Jorge Jesus.Ronaldo, 41, landed in Madrid in the early hours of Thursday morning after flying from Copenhagen, where Portugal faced Denmark on Thursday, on his private jet. He had been seen leaving the Parken Stadium in the Danish capital on Wednesday after missing a third consecutive training session.Ronaldo later confirmed in a statement on Instagram that he had left the team’s camp because of comments made by Jesus in his press conference. The Portugal boss said the captain would not start the Denmark clash, just days after sitting on the bench for the entirety of the 2-1 win in Norway, but insisted there was no issue between the two.Ronaldo’s future is now unclear, but team-mate Fernandes is now doing his best to try and salvage the relationship.’To put an end to this matter once and for all, I don’t need to speak with my colleagues,’ Fernandes said. ‘We know how to manage our situations. Bruno Fernandes (right) has held clear-the-air talks with Cristiano Ronaldo (left) after the latter stormed out of the Portugal camp’We have a situation that has nothing to do with the players, and our most important role is to deliver results.’He continued: ‘I had a conversation with Cris. What I told him is that the most important thing, regardless of what happens, is that he will never cease to be the greatest symbol of our national team and country, for everything he has done in Portugal and around the world.’He has a reserved place not only among the best of all time, but also in the hearts of the Portuguese people.’We cannot divide ourselves; the national team is one, and all parties should resolve their issues behind closed doors. I think that’s how it will be, and that everything will end well on both sides.’We are out of the matter; we spend a lot of time playing cards and are outside the controversy surrounding this issue, but I ask that the country not be divided, not make choices, and accept all sides.’Cris will always be the greatest icon of our national team, of world football, and deserves the respect of all Portuguese people, regardless of who likes him more or less.’Jesus, meanwhile, who took over from Roberto Martinez after the World Cup, oversaw a 4-2 win for his side on Thursday night, and insisted he remains in control of the team – with full faith from the players.’I don’t have a group in my hand. I have a group that believes in the coach’s ideas,’ he said. ‘They believe in my ideas and, because they have a lot of individual quality, things become easier.’If that’s having a group in my hand, then I do, because they go hand in hand with me and my ideas.’ Portugal boss Jorge Jesus insists he is in control of his players and has a ‘clear conscience’ amid his feud with RonaldoRonaldo said: ‘After the national team coach’s press conference, and following a conversation with the President of the Portuguese Football Federation, I have decided to leave the national team training camp.’In due time, I will tell all Portuguese people the truth about the reasons that led to my departure from the national team, to which I have always dedicated myself.’Now is the time to wish good luck to Portugal and to all my teammates.’ This week, he also liked a post on social media which saw Felipe Melo say: ‘I see a grotesque difference in the players’ treatment with Cristiano Ronaldo in relation to Argentina players with (Lionel) Messi.’Jesus, though, who also managed Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, insists his conscience is clean.’It’s not difficult for me to focus,’ he added. ‘You know what’s difficult for me? It’s not understanding what’s going on inside. It’s not knowing how to train my players. That’s what’s difficult for me. The rest… zero.’What’s important is what we have to do. The things that happen don’t separate the group, they haven’t separated us and they won’t separate us.’
