Cristiano Ronaldo has parted ways with Manchester United.
The decision comes after a contentious interview in which the 37-year-old slammed the club and stated that he had “no respect” for manager Erik ten Hag.
Ronaldo’s departure was “mutually agreed” by both parties.
“The club thanks him for his enormous contribution over two spells at Old Trafford,” Manchester United said in a statement.
They wished “him and his family well for the future” and added “everyone at Manchester United remains focused on continuing the team’s progress under Erik ten Hag and working together to deliver success on the pitch”.
United are fifth in the Premier League in Ten Hag’s first season as manager, with the season taking a break for the World Cup in Qatar.
Ronaldo is with Portugal at the tournament and is set to captain them in their opening Group H game against Ghana on Thursday.
