Substitute in Manchester for a few weeks, Ronaldo had let go in an interview published on November 14.
He said in particular that he felt “betrayed” by the club and that he had “no respect” for manager Erik ten Hag.
MU announced on Friday that it had “triggered appropriate measures” towards the player.
The latter only has to focus on the World Cup, where he makes his debut in three days with Portugal.
"I have no doubt that this recent episode, this interview, like other episodes that sometimes occur, can shake a player but will not shake the team," he assured the press on Monday.
