Manchester United have announced that after his interview with Piers Morgan, the club have taken the decision to part ways with Cristiano Ronaldo. The 37-year-old striker mutually agreed to leave and it was confirmed with a statement on the club's website.
In his explosive interview, Ronaldo stated that he did not respect new manager Erik ten Hag and also took aim at the club's owners the Glazers. Though fans were happy that he criticised the problematic ownership, they agreed that he had gone too far in his barbed comments about their new Dutch manager and there was likely no way back.
The statement 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."
