Paul Scholes was delighted to see Manchester United put an end to their latest Cristiano Ronaldo saga by terminating his contract.
United announced on Tuesday evening that they had released Ronaldo from his contract early following his explosive interview with Piers Morgan. Ronaldo had openly criticised the club, claiming he felt “betrayed” after being denied a summer transfer while taking aim at manager Erik ten Hag among others.
Both sides said the decision had been taken mutually and Ronaldo added that “it feels like the right time for me to seek a new challenge”. The 37-year-old forward, who is currently away with Portugal at the World Cup, is now a free agent, meaning he can join a new club.
