An earthquake in world football. About a week after the interview he gave Cristiano Ronaldo, In it, among other things, he hurled various accusations at Manchester United and the treatment he received from the team, and two days before the debut match of the Portugal national team in the 2022 World Cup, the club officially announced this evening (Tuesday) that the Portuguese star’s contract has been terminated and he will finish his second term at Old Trafford after about a year and a half.
“By mutual decision, Cristiano Ronaldo will leave Manchester United with immediate effect,” read the official statement from Manchester United. “The club thanks him for his enormous contribution during his two terms at the club.” This, in fact, will end as mentioned the second term of Cristiano Ronaldo in the club where he flourished and from which he grew to the highest peaks that a football player can dream of.
CR7, who left Manchester United for the first time in 2009, returned to it last summer and lit up the Old Trafford stands, who expected to return a crown to its former glory with him. However, after a not good enough first season for the team, a stormy and very emotionally charged summer turned the tide and marked, in retrospect, the decline of the star. Relegation to the bench along with United’s improvement under the guidance of Erik ten Haah pushed Ronaldo to the bench and as mentioned a week ago, in an extensive interview, the 37-year-old striker “opened up” about the coach and the club in an interview that led to the end of his career.
