Ronaldo’s
contract
with
Manchester
United
was
on
Tuesday
(November
22)
terminated
by
mutual
consent
a
week
after
the
Portuguese
star
forward
launched
a
scathing
attack
at
the
club,
senior
figures
and
the
head
coach
Erik
ten
Hag
in
an
interview
with
Piers
Morgan.
The
five-time
Ballon
d’Or
winner,
who
returned
to
United
for
a
second
spell
in
2021,
said
he
felt
“betrayed”
by
the
Red
Devils,
claiming
they
have
made
“zero
progress”
since
legendary
boss
Alex
Ferguson
departed
Old
Trafford
in
2013.
United
issued
a
statement
following
the
explosive
interview
that
said
they
had
“initiated
appropriate
steps”
and
on
Tuesday
(November
22)
revealed
the
37-year-old
has
left
the
club
for
a
second
time.
Manchester
United
confirm
Cristiano
Ronaldo
exit
On
Viacom18’s
VISA
Match
Centre,
Rooney,
one
of
Ronaldo’s
teammate
during
the
Portugal
star’s
first
spell
at
United,
said
the
contract
termination
was
inevitable
after
what
was
said
last
week.
“I
have
said
many
times
that
Ronaldo
is
one
of
the
best
players
of
all
time.
It’s
sad
to
see
it
end
this
way,
but
I
think
once
everyone
saw
the
interview
he
did
with
Piers
Morgan
and
how
he
attacked
the
club,
I
think
there
was
no
option
(but)
for
this
to
happen,”
said
Rooney.
The
former
England
captain
added
that
Ronaldo
is
still
a
very
good
player
but
not
what
he
was
when
he
was
23
and
added
that
the
outcome
was
best
for
all
parties
involved
at
the
end
of
the
day.
Cristiano
Ronaldo
feels
‘betrayed’
by
Manchester
United
and
says
he
has
no
respect
for
Ten
Hag
“He
is
now
37.
I
still
felt
there
was
a
part
for
him
to
play
at
Manchester
United
maybe
not
from
the
start
but
coming
on
(as
a
substitute).
He
obviously
doesn’t
feel
to
accept
that
role
and
wants
to
continue
his
career
elsewhere,
so
for
the
club,
it’s
probably
the
best
thing,”
Rooney
explained.
“It
allows
them
to
focus
on
the
players
who
are
there
and
want
to
be
there,
and
for
Cristiano,
his
focus
will
solely
be
on
the
World
Cup
and
Portugal.”
Rooney
finally
added
that
teams
will
look
to
sign
Ronaldo
if
he
has
a
good
tournament
in
Qatar
with
a
return
to
Real
Madrid
among
the
rumoured
next
destination
for
the
Portuguese
star.
