Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo will both be “delighted” after the two parties decided to go their separate ways, according to Rio Ferdinand.
United announced on Tuesday night that they had released Ronaldo early from his contract following his explosive interview with Piers Morgan. The 37-year-old was under contract until the end of the season but is now a free agent.
Ronaldo is currently away with Portugal at the World Cup and will feature in their opening match of the tournament against Ghana on Thursday. However, in a statement, he said “it feels like the right time for me to seek a new challenge”.
