The case is updated. In a post published on Twitter, Manchester United write that they have reached an agreement with Cristiano Ronaldo to terminate the contract, with immediate effect. The club further writes that they thank him for the contribution he has made to the club during his two spells at Old Trafford. – It is sad. First and foremost for the United fans who had hoped for a romantic reunion. There are also many who will look in the mirror at the fact that this transition became a fact. First and foremost the club and Ronaldo. It remains as a naive reunion. It worked well for half a year, but it was a sad ending, says United.no journalist Eivind Holth. The head of football for the British newspaper The Times, Henry Winter, has relayed the following statement from Ronaldo. – I love Manchester United and I love the supporters. But it feels like the right time to seek a new challenge. I wish the team every success for the rest of the season and in the future. Reached out to the club in a big interview Ronaldo first came to Manchester United as an 18-year-old in 2003. He was at the club until 2009, before returning last summer. Last season he scored 24 goals in 38 games, but this season he has ended up in the cold under Erik ten Hag’s management. Last week he spoke out against how he had been treated in recent months in an interview with Piers Morgan. See the full interview here: – I feel betrayed, Ronaldo said in the interview. Ronaldo was publicly reprimanded by Erik ten Hag on two occasions. First when he left Old Trafford this summer before the training match against Rayo Vallecano had finished, and then when he refused to be substituted in the league match against Tottenham in the autumn. – I shouldn’t say it, but I don’t care. People should know the truth. I feel let down. I feel that someone does not want me here. Not just this year, but the last few years,” Ronaldo said. Manchester United announced after the interview that they would look at possible measures against Ronaldo, and now it is clear that player and club are parting ways. The Portuguese has a total of 145 goals in 346 games for Manchester United. Ronaldo is currently in Qatar, where he is part of Portugal’s World Cup squad.
