The English club made it official underlining that the contract with the Portuguese striker has been terminated by mutual agreement. 

"The club thanks him for his immense contribution to Old Trafford, scoring 145 goals in 346 appearances, and wishes him and his family well for the future," the statement read.

"Everyone at Manchester United remains focused on continuing the team's progress under Erik ten Hag and working together to achieve success on the pitch," added the English club after the Portuguese champion's statement in Qatar for the World Cup with the Portuguese national team. 

The divorce between Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo is now official.

The club has announced that the player is leaving the club "by mutual agreement and with immediate effect".

An announced and painful divorce that arrives in the middle of the World Cup and two days before the debut of the Lusitanians against Ghana.

After all, the interview released in recent days left no other solutions, Ronaldo's statements were too strong, accusing the club of "betrayal", adding that Ten Hag "has no respect" for him and that, consequently, the thing is mutual.
