Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to leave Manchester United as he felt he wasn't trusted to lead the club, according to Red Devils legend Dwight Yorke.
The 37-year-old forward left Old Trafford in controversial circumstances late last year after participating in a tell-all interview with Piers Morgan that saw Ronaldo air all of his views on everyone from manager Erik ten Hag to the Glazer family - neither of whom were discussed particularly positively.
Having told the world that he had "no respect" for Ten Hag, United were left with very little choice but to oversee the departure Ronaldo so desperately wanted anyway. His Red Devils contract was terminated by mutual consent and he has since put pen to paper on a deal with Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr where he is expected to earn around £173 per year as the highest-paid footballer ever.
