Cristiano Ronaldo is no longer a Manchester United player : it was the English club itself that confirmed the consensual termination of the Portuguese contract with immediate effect . The decision was taken following the controversial TV interview released by CR7 before the start of the World Cup, in which he directly attacked both the club (accused of treason) and coach Erik Ten Hag, criticized for an alleged lack of respect in his comparisons. "The club thanks Ronaldo for his immense contribution in his two moments at Old Trafford," reads the terse Manchester United press release. In which he then wishes "Ronaldo and his family the best for the future".
For his part, CR7 , currently in Qatar with the Portuguese national team, has repeatedly repeated that he still feels competitive at the highest levels , without however anticipating where he intends to continue his career. "After a conversation with Manchester United we agreed to terminate the contract early," the Portuguese said. I love Manchester United and their fans, that will never change. But I think the right time has come for a new challenge».
Among the hypotheses on the horizon today is that of Newcastle . According to rumors, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Salman is ready to buy him for six or eighteen months for the Magpies , to then let him end his career at Al Nassr, putting an avalanche of millions (about 300) on the table to close the deal as a footballer and image man, with CR7 who would thus become the symbol man of Saudi Vision 2030 .
