Breaking: Cristiano Ronaldo’s Contract With Man Utd Terminated With Mutual Consent

Manchester United made the contentious decision to end Cristiano Ronaldo’s second stint there with “immediate effect” on Tuesday.

Following a recent television appearance in which he claimed to feel “betrayed” by the team and had no regard for new boss Erik ten Hag, the Portuguese forward seemed to be leaving Old Trafford.

“Cristiano Ronaldo is to leave Manchester United by mutual agreement, with immediate effect,” said a United statement.

“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.

“Everyone at Manchester United remains focused on continuing the team’s progress under Erik ten Hag and working together to deliver success on the pitch.”
