Not a surprise but it was expected after the bombshell interview by the player. By mutual consent and with immediate effect, Cristiano Ronaldo will depart Manchester United. “The club thanks him for his immense contribution across two spells at Old Trafford”, statement stated by the club.
Ronaldo has been under harsh fire for a recent interview he gave to British journalist Piers Morgan. During the interview, the Portuguese criticised the team for a number of reasons. He even claimed that some of the club owners are attempting to “push him out.” Ronaldo’s departure from United appears to have been decided as a result of the shocking interview and the club stated that they would declare their decision after examining everything.
