It's over. What seemed to be a new chapter with Manchester United having arrived in the summer of 2021, just over a year on the fairytale has ended. Ronaldo is no longer a Manchester United player.
The striker is currently at the World Cup with Portugal however he won't be returning to the Red Devils after his Qatar tenure.
Following his interview in the recent days, the English club has taken action and both parties have decided to mutually terminate the contract that bonded Ronaldo with Man United. A bond none thought was breakable has been broken. The Portuguese star is now a free agent and free to join any club.
The statement.
Here are the words from Manchester United, posted on the official Man United Twitter profile: "Cristiano Ronaldo will leave Manchester United by mutual agreement, with immediate effect. The club thanks him for his immense contribution in two periods at Old Trafford, scoring 145 goals in 346 appearances, and wishes him and his family all the best for the future. Everyone at Manchester United remains focused on continuing with the team’s progress under the leadership of Erik ten Hag and working together to achieve success on the pitch.”
