Manchester United have confirmed Cristiano Ronaldo will leave the club with immediate effect just days after his explosive, tell-all interview with Piers Morgan.
The 37-year-old forward issued scathing assessments on everyone from manager Erik ten Hag to United's owners the Glazers. As a result, United have hit back with a damning update of their own as they announced on Tuesday evening the five-time Ballon d'Or winner would not be returning to Carrington from his World Cup campaign out in Qatar with Portugal.
United's statement was short and sweet, with the last line in particular making for interesting reading. It read: " Cristiano Ronaldo is to leave Manchester United by mutual agreement, with immediate effect. The club thanks him for his immense contribution across two spells at Old Trafford, scoring 145 goals in 346 appearances, and wishes him and his family well for the future.
