It’s Time To Look For A New Challenge,’ Ronaldo Says After Leaving Manchester United

After Manchester United announced his departure with immediate effect, Cristiano Ronaldo said it was “the right time to seek a new challenge..

Ronaldo sparked outrage last week when he said he felt “betrayed” by senior club figures and had no “respect” for manager Erik ten Hag in an exclusive interview with Piers Morgan.

Following the interview, United stated that they had “initiated appropriate steps,” and on Tuesday revealed that the club and Ronaldo had parted ways “by mutual agreement.”

Following the news, Ronaldo issued his own statement, saying, “Following discussions with Manchester United, we have mutually agreed to end our contract early.”

I adore Manchester United and its supporters, and that will never change. However, it appears that the time has come for me to seek a new challenge.

“I wish the team the best of luck for the rest of the season and in the future.”
