Manchester United's Portuguese superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, will leave the club with immediate effect. The decision was announced by the club itself through an official statement, a few days after the famous interview of the attacker. Ronaldo said a few days ago that he has no respect for coach Ten Hag, and criticized the hierarchy of the club quite harshly.
In the statement to the media, the leaders of United said:
"The club thanks him (Ronaldo) for his outstanding contribution during his 2 spells at Old Trafford. We wish him and his family the best. At Manchester United we all remain focused on continuing the team's progress under Erik ten Hag, and working together to ensure success on the pitch."
According to English media, Ronaldo's departure was consensually accepted by both parties. United, meanwhile, currently sit fifth in the Premier League, and it seems that manager Ten Hag is starting to find his style of play little by little. On the other hand, it is still unclear what the future holds for Cristiano Ronaldo.
According to the Spanish Marca, the Portuguese is currently considering 2 main alternatives. The first option is Newcastle United, while the second option, which is less likely to materialize, is a move to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, the most sensational news is Chelsea's interest in the Portuguese's card. According to the English media, the attacker's agent, Jorge Mendes, is ready to discuss with the Londoners an agreement on Ronaldo's services, since the blues seem interested in advance. Club owner Todd Boehly likes the idea of bringing the superstar to the team, but the move remains a complicated operation with manager Graham Potter skeptical of the Portuguese's abilities at this point in his career.
