Cristiano Ronaldo's fairytale return to Manchester United was something of a whirlwind in the end with him rejoining amid huge fanfare, hitting the ground running, positively influencing things behind the scenes... and then having his contract unceremoniously terminated after publicly accusing the club of betraying him.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has now put pen to paper on a £173million per season deal with Saudia Arabian outfit Al-Nassr and on Tuesday night claimed he is "really, really happy" to be playing in such a competitive league.
It's an underwhelming end for such a talented and ambitious footballer who told Jonathan Ross back in 2015: "In my mind, I want to finish at the top level. I want to finish with dignity in a good club. "That doesn't mean going to the USA, Qatar, or Dubai is not good. But, I do not see myself [there]."
