Christian Eriksen makes "sad" Cristiano Ronaldo admission as Man Utd thrive without him

Christian Eriksen believes that Manchester United have moved on from the Cristiano Ronaldo scandal.

United were forced to act before the World Cup when Ronaldo gave an unauthorised interview to Piers Morgan in which he openly criticised manager Erik ten Hag and said he felt "betrayed" by club chiefs. After assessing their options, United decided to terminate Ronaldo's contract by mutual consent, thereby depleting Ten Hag's squad.

Ronaldo's exit does not appear to have cast a shadow, with United picking up two wins upon their return after the break for the World Cup by beating Burnley 2-0 in the Carabao Cup and Nottingham Forest 3-0 in the Premier League. Speaking after the comfortable win over Forest, Eriksen paid tribute to Ronaldo's legacy at the club, but insisted it was now time to move on.
