On Twitter, supporters of Manchester United said that Cristiano Ronaldo did the club a favor by forcing him to leave after the Red Devils played well against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. Since Ronaldo and United ended their contract last month, this was their first Premier League game.
On Tuesday, December 27, the hosts won 3-0 in their match at Old Trafford. Anthony Martial added his second goal of the game three minutes later, giving Marcus Rashford the lead in the 19th minute. In the 87th minute of the game, Fred scored to make it three for Erik ten Hag’s team.
Ten Hag’s Premier League starting XI did not consistently include the Portuguese superstar. In 10 games this season, he only scored a league goal, a winner against Everton at Goodison Park. Following the Red Devils’ final match before the FIFA World Cup break, Ronaldo gave an explosive interview with Piers Morgan.
He mocked Ten Hag and the club’s leadership and made a number of startling assertions about them. Fans believe that his departure from the club as a result of this has been a blessing in disguise for the giants of the Premier League. They are convinced that United is a superior team without Ronaldo.
After leaving Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo is still without a team:
Even though Cristiano Ronaldo has left Manchester United, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is still free to sign elsewhere. Al-Nassr FC, based in Saudi Arabia, has been highly rumored to be interested in signing him. However, Ronaldo is said to be interested in joining a European team.
Rumors of a return were stoked when he was seen training at his former club, Real Madrid. The forward would have been able to sign with a top club if he had performed well at the FIFA World Cup in 2022. However, in Portugal’s opener against Ghana in Qatar, he only scored one goal.
As the tournament progressed, Ronaldo’s form declined, and he was even left out of the team’s knockout matches against Switzerland and Morocco by Fernando Santos. Portugal’s tournament came to an end when they lost in the last eight to the Atlas Lions. Thus, Cristiano Ronaldo’s stocks have taken a hard fall and he is still watching out for his next club.
