Piers Morgan has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo quipped he was as 'free as a bird' in a text message after his Manchester United contract was terminated.
It was confirmed in a statement last month that Ronaldo's second stint at Old Trafford was over after the 37-year-old and the club came to an agreement that would terminate the final six months of Ronaldo's deal with "immediate effect".
Ronaldo's exit came less than a week after his explosive, unsanctioned interview with Morgan, where he took aim at Erik ten Hag, the Glazer family and the club's facilities. And Morgan has now lifted the lid on the first conversation he had with the Portuguese superstar since he became a free agent.
