Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo's relationship had soured significantly over the past few months, so it came as no real surprise when it was confirmed that the two had parted ways earlier this week.
United released a statement on Tuesday evening confirming that Ronaldo would leave the club with "immediate effect" - less than a week after his explosive, unsanctioned interview with Piers Morgan where he took aim at Erik ten Hag and the Glazer family.
Although Ronaldo had been reduced to a bit-part role under Ten Hag this season, the Dutchman will more than likely be hoping to replace the veteran striker once the transfer window reopens in January.
