Manchester United have confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo has left the club, effective immediately.
The 37-year old Ronaldo has agreed a mutual termination of his contract following his explosive interview with Piers Morgan in which he criticised United and manager Erik ten Hag.
A statement issued by the club on Tuesday read: “Cristiano Ronaldo is to leave Manchester United by mutual agreement, with immediate effect.
“The club thanks him for his immense contribution across two spells at Old Trafford, scoring 145 goals in 346 appearances, and wishes him and his family well for the future.
He is free to join another club immediately after leaving Old Trafford and will not have to wait until the January transfer window.
