The future of five-time Ballon D'or winner Cristiano Ronaldo will intensify over the next month ahead of the January transfer window following confirmation of his Manchester United exit on Tuesday. Ronaldo has mutually left the Red Devils with immediate effect after his outrageous TV interview with Piers Morgan last week.
Uncertainty surrounding his future has been largely discussed since the summer following a number of incidents at Old Trafford. Ronaldo reportedly rejected an offer worth £210 million from Saudi Arabia in the summer after wanting out of Erik ten Hag's side and has caused endless controversy this season, including his infamous burst down the tunnel before the final whistle against Tottenham.
Now, Ronaldo is a free agent. He kicks off, possibly, his final World Cup campaign with Portugal on Thursday afternoon against Ghana and will put his club football to the back of his mind. For now. But that won't stop the rest of the football world discussing where his future lies for the remainder of the 2022/23 season.
