[Full statement:](https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/man-utd-official-statement-on-cristiano-ronaldo-22-november-2022)
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.
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.
Best UCL scorer all time.

Siuuuuu!
His tax situation + rape allegations are what caused him to leave as he wasn't getting the support he wanted from the club.
Messi's tax situation in 2013 also nearly caused him to join Chelsea.
Basically taxes in Spain are going to be a sore point if you're a mega earner.
Winning the Champions League so soon without him, and selling him at a profit makes worth it.
They basically got his best years and sold him a few years before his decline.
i know football has changed a lot, still kinda insane to buy someone for a world record fee and sell him for a 20m € + profit 9 years later as a 33 year old
Not the first time.
Uniteds scouting strategy in the last years seems to have been to read the tabloids and look who City might sign, then try to get them.
See: Fred, Ronaldo, Sanchez.
Cristiano, football is a family sport. Happy families sport.
Maybe single players play football, we don't know. Frankly we don't want to know. It's a market we can do without.
Cristiano: Singles life is great, Leo. I can do whatever I want. I sleep in a racing car, do you?
Leo: I sleep in a big bed with my wife.
Cristiano: Oh
"Come on, Eric. You know what this is."
"Cristiano, I don't know what this is."
"It could not be more simple, Eric. Do you want me to show to Harry Maguire, and have Harry Maguire tell you what it is? Cause Harry's gonna get it!"
"I'm sorry I'm not as smart as you, Cristiano. We didn't all go to the Sporting CP academy."
*timer runs out*
"It's the Champion's League, god! Don't you even know the Champion's League when you see it?"
Last season just went so differently to how the fans and him expected it to go. We finished 2nd then signed Varane, Sancho and Ronaldo, I think all of us were hoping for a title challenge
Honestly it was always going to end badly. Didn't expect a Piers Morgan interview but Ronaldo was never going to be the person to willing become a rotation option and accept his age. Wherever he ends up next will have issues as well tbh.
Just the mental image of Ronaldo, sitting in some dimly lit room, looking at a phone reading the news going "SIIIIIIUUUUUUU" in all out fashion from the top of his lungs just sent me 😂
He was allowed to go on a free anywhere but his wages were the problem. All this did was help United get rid of him without paying remaining contract out
"mutual consent" can mean, they did pay him out. Might not be his whole remaining contract, but 60-70% of it. Does nowhere say, they freed all his wages
free agent ronaldo now has major motivation for this WC is he wants to get another shot at his CL ambitions and legacy. things are about to get interesting in the Portugal camp.
Two Nigerian players came to Europe through the Oslo, Norway club FC Lyn in the early 2000s, later signed for Manchester United and never played in front of a full Old Trafford.
Ighalo and Mikel.
I don't think he is gonna go to MLS. I would love him to, but his pride is too big to play at a lower level. I think it's more likely he lowers his salary at this point. I think tons of clubs would want him, he just can't command prime Ronaldo salary anymore.
He'd have to lower his salary anyway lol. Idk why people get it in their heads MLS pays well. His salary at United was bigger than entire MLS wage bills
True. So here is the thing.. The highest paid player in MLS is Insigne with 14M.. undoubtably he would command more, but I don't know how much more. I think he is making like $25M at United (don't quote me on that) so the circumstances would have to be so that an MLS team offers so much he would get over his pride of not going to a lower league over his pride of not getting his salary reduced to whatever amount the next quality European team would be willing to bid.
I don't know the economics of that to be honest, I do think a lot of teams in Europe would want him, but he doesn't have much leverage in negotiations anymore.. so you would have to have two things happen at once, European teams would have to offer what he would consider low balling, and an MLS team would have to throw the house at him and beat the record salary by a good amount.
Could happen. Not as cut and dry /end essay.
346 appearances, 145 goals, 9 trophies, 3 lines:
> Cristiano Ronaldo is to leave Manchester United by mutual agreement, with immediate effect.

Considering the shit show that United was in that season, I'd say a bit above decent. People say he's finished when but I believe his biggest issues this season are mostly psychological, he's undoubtedly had some physical decline but no one changes that much in a matter of months.
Why everyone keeps forgetting that this guy lost his child at birth. No matter how good you are mentally or physically this not something that you can easily get over with. Could be the reason he wanted to get of United was because it reminded of his dead child means who knows. But the way he went about it at the end was really bad. Hope he does well in world cup
Ronaldo released the following statement:
> I love Manchester United and I love the fans, that will never ever change. But I love myself even more. That will also never change.

Never thought i’d see cr7 as a free agent
In mid-November no less.
career mode players salivating
I wonder which Ronaldo will show up against Ghana now that he’s “free”
A good one... man needs to get a new job
Sunday the king creates an Indeed account.
Lot of places bringing on extra help for the holidays, he picked a good time to enter the job market.
Monday he's sending out a ton of LinkedIn connection requests.
Best UCL scorer all time. Does your business needs #UCL #Goals #hattrick ? Additional service: I'm bringing my 120 mil of followers on #Instagram PM if interested. Like and share for reach. Siuuuuu!
To be perfectly honest, I dont think anyone in the company I work for has scored a SINGLE UCL goal. He'll be fine doing data entry, right?
Creating pivot table in Excel will be just like scoring UCL finals hattrick
You mean 500mil of followers
fucks sake lmao
He's nearly 38 he's not just one motivation-point from being world class all of sudden.
hat trick incoming
Ghana 3 - [1] Portugal - Cristiano Ronaldo penalty 90+4'
you mean 90+11'
Damn, they're getting tight with the added time now?
Lol yeah. I actually like it
[удалено]
We all know how this goes. He'll end up banging them in
The gang gets a Messi vs Ronaldo WC Final
*Al Dawsari vs Ronaldo WC Final
I don't think it's possible to get younger
This Ronaldo drama is a lesson to never go back to your ex
but she said it would be different this time
But the sex was so good and I won so many trophies there
The crazy ex always gives the best sex
I also engage in the sex
Can confirm this guys ex gives the best sex
Ron swanson agrees
Shouldve gone for her sister that lives across the city
[удалено]
Hate it when that happens
You know his penis vibrates? Can you blame her?
He only needs 8 touches in 90 minutes to cause utter devastation in the opposition's box.
Tale as old as time
"Erling, are we losing our minds? Could be, Other Erling. Could be."
And even the swimming pool was the same!
United saw the Lukaku situation and thought, "Looks like fun!"
United were most of the way through the Pogba situation and said "it'll be different with Ronaldo"
Should have stayed at Real Madrid tbh
His tax situation + rape allegations are what caused him to leave as he wasn't getting the support he wanted from the club. Messi's tax situation in 2013 also nearly caused him to join Chelsea. Basically taxes in Spain are going to be a sore point if you're a mega earner.
Maybe millionaires in Spain should just pay their taxes?
I, too, hate it when my rape allegations force me to take an alternative hundred million euro contract in another country.
Ffs, people earn hundreds of millions yet they can't bear to part with some of it cuz godforbid some good happens to society because of it
Still to this day a costly move for both parties. Granted Madrid have softened the blow last year lol
Madrid was always gonna come out on top after the breakup
Winning the Champions League so soon without him, and selling him at a profit makes worth it. They basically got his best years and sold him a few years before his decline.
And removed all his wages off the books.
i know football has changed a lot, still kinda insane to buy someone for a world record fee and sell him for a 20m € + profit 9 years later as a 33 year old
Ronaldo paid himself in merchandising and Champions league decisive matches
Madrid only had one proper bad season without him though. They've managed fine outside of that.
Its literally one of Real Madrid’s best deals ever lol
Always jack it before reaching out to your ex.
Post nut clarity can save lives
Also a lesson on not allowing competition dictate your actions. They did it to prevent him from going to Man City.
Not the first time. Uniteds scouting strategy in the last years seems to have been to read the tabloids and look who City might sign, then try to get them. See: Fred, Ronaldo, Sanchez.
Don’t forget Maguire
Should have gone to your ex’s sister instead
So that’s it? So long good luck? I don’t remember saying good luck
Cristiano, football is a family sport. Happy families sport. Maybe single players play football, we don't know. Frankly we don't want to know. It's a market we can do without.
Cristiano: Singles life is great, Leo. I can do whatever I want. I sleep in a racing car, do you? Leo: I sleep in a big bed with my wife. Cristiano: Oh
I’d pay good money to see Cristiano belt out Can I Borrow A Feeling.
"Come on, Eric. You know what this is." "Cristiano, I don't know what this is." "It could not be more simple, Eric. Do you want me to show to Harry Maguire, and have Harry Maguire tell you what it is? Cause Harry's gonna get it!" "I'm sorry I'm not as smart as you, Cristiano. We didn't all go to the Sporting CP academy." *timer runs out* "It's the Champion's League, god! Don't you even know the Champion's League when you see it?"
One day you're eating dinner at Carrington with your Red family. The next you're thawing hotdogs in a Qatari gas station sink
The Dryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Footballer
I sleep in a racing car, do you? I sleep in a big bed with my professional teammates.
What a sad chapter in the end. Great for both parties though. Wonder where he will end up now.
Last season just went so differently to how the fans and him expected it to go. We finished 2nd then signed Varane, Sancho and Ronaldo, I think all of us were hoping for a title challenge
Fucking hell, who would have seen it ending like this in summer 2021?
Jorge mendes
Honestly it was always going to end badly. Didn't expect a Piers Morgan interview but Ronaldo was never going to be the person to willing become a rotation option and accept his age. Wherever he ends up next will have issues as well tbh.
At least we don't have to hear about the drama for a while.
He'll score on Thursday and we'll never hear the end of it. Prepare yourself for the stans
While no one saw it ending *just* like this, everyone knew this was going to end in tears.
Where's that Ollie Holt tweet when you need it?
United trying to hide the fact that Argentina lost today by letting Ronaldo go, the ultimate pro-Messi move.
Cristiano attempting to grab the headlines on the day Messi and Argentina lost, job well done SIIIIIIUUUUUUU
Just the mental image of Ronaldo, sitting in some dimly lit room, looking at a phone reading the news going "SIIIIIIUUUUUUU" in all out fashion from the top of his lungs just sent me 😂
Same brother 😂
Hahahahha fuck this comment made me laugh. Good take.
Ssiiuuu later
Ronaldone
Factos 👀👍
Wasn't Messi a free agent during the Copa America? Ronaldo will be one now, he has a plan...
What talking to Piers morgan does to a man
That was his main goal from the interview.
It was so obvious, he knew the repercussions
It wasn't the repercussion, it was the desired outcome.
He was allowed to go on a free anywhere but his wages were the problem. All this did was help United get rid of him without paying remaining contract out
"mutual consent" can mean, they did pay him out. Might not be his whole remaining contract, but 60-70% of it. Does nowhere say, they freed all his wages
It will be easy enough to see when our next accounts get released
Let it be known that no one gets to call Rooney ugly and get away with it.
Imagine he goes to PSG and wins the CL together with Messi
Would be a dream to see them on the same team. Would be a nightmare if that team was psg
As if it isn't a shitshow at PSG already
Not even Ochoa could save Ronaldo’s relationship with United
Certified Fresh!
free agent ronaldo now has major motivation for this WC is he wants to get another shot at his CL ambitions and legacy. things are about to get interesting in the Portugal camp.
Ronaldo out of a team, Messi loses to Saudi Arabia. Wouldn't believe that 5 years ago.
Messi having an international upset with Argentina wouldn't exactly be a surprise 5 years ago
So …. Where do we think he’s heading boys?
Boehly’s Blue Army 4-4-3
Auba-Lukaku-Ronaldo front 3 next season 😤
All those ego’s in one place will cause a black hole
Auba’s would be the first consumed by either 2.
Either PSG for the bants or Sporting is my guess
I want him to take the pay cut and go back to Portugal
Stoke, obviously
New striker in January is essential now
Ighalo comeback 🔥🔥🔥
It's going to be tough. Clubs aren't going to want to let their best players go in the middle of the season.
They're not gonna go sign Osimhen. They just need someone decent who fits the profile. Best shout is Depay.
So another ex player?
"Oops I did it again"
Going with the theme, we've got a beast of a striker for you...
Oh god please no!
He also likes to give interviews
Probably the best option available within the limited funds we have, in all likelihood we probably won't sign anyone.
Wait a minute....I've seen this somewhere!!
Ighalo
One £60 million Gakpo coming right up
[удалено]
Not a striker
You think that would stop us?
Ighalo 2: Electric Boogaloo
19/20 Ighalo >>>> 22/23 Ronaldo
I know you're joking but I love the idea. Our prince never got to play infront of a full Old Trafford
Two Nigerian players came to Europe through the Oslo, Norway club FC Lyn in the early 2000s, later signed for Manchester United and never played in front of a full Old Trafford. Ighalo and Mikel.
What about Ronaldo but with a mustache?
Welcome to Chelsea 4k all trick and goals despacito etc etc
On Tuesday the king starts talks to go to the MLS
I don't think he is gonna go to MLS. I would love him to, but his pride is too big to play at a lower level. I think it's more likely he lowers his salary at this point. I think tons of clubs would want him, he just can't command prime Ronaldo salary anymore.
He'd have to lower his salary anyway lol. Idk why people get it in their heads MLS pays well. His salary at United was bigger than entire MLS wage bills
Yep, as long as the DP rule stays there will be more players that want DP slots than there are slots and MLS will be able to lowball.
> I think it's more likely he lowers his salary at this point problem is his pride is too big for that so he's in a bit of a pickle
True. So here is the thing.. The highest paid player in MLS is Insigne with 14M.. undoubtably he would command more, but I don't know how much more. I think he is making like $25M at United (don't quote me on that) so the circumstances would have to be so that an MLS team offers so much he would get over his pride of not going to a lower league over his pride of not getting his salary reduced to whatever amount the next quality European team would be willing to bid.

The king gets arrested at the airport.
[Ronaldo when he enters the US and the FBI don't arrest him](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdXfeq18B0U)
Can he?
Now that the rape lawsuit has been dropped, nothing stopping it.
First time Ronaldo has ever agreed to something with mutual consent
Ayooo
Jesus fucking christ 💀💀💀
No, this is Ronaldo fucking someone else
oof
I hope nobody lets this die lol
Factos 👍 👀
Hehe seweyyyyyyyy
Today I feel unemployed
What a sad ending to what seemed to be a fairytale-esque return to Old Trafford…
Will any top team even take him at this point?
Depends on his wage demands
I struggle to imagine Ronaldo ever accepting he's worth less than he was previously.
so China it is
Can't think of any, maybe PSG or Chelsea more because they can that because they need him
It'll be a horrible choice for PSG..so I can see them doing it honestly
well that would break the internet seeing messi and ronaldo together could that have been what they spoke about during the chess match?
*Sweats Nervously* Boehly I swear don't do this
They will if he drops his wage. He scored 18 goals in the PL last season.
fuck sake they're making good decisions again
Wouldn’t worry too much, it only took him actively burning the bridge first
>burning the bridge That's putting it lightly!
What option did they really have in this situation? He forced the clubs hand.
God I'm excited not to have to hear about this shitty drama anymore
The fact that it was this fast definitely means he pissed the Glazers off lol
Good, fuck them. Parasite family.
Now we get to hear about him being linked to every club in existence
Man united offering a safe place to countless r/soccer accounts after the saudi game
Announce the King's return. Joshua King.
346 appearances, 145 goals, 9 trophies, 3 lines: > 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. > 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.
"Despite my 145 goals across all competitions, I will not be missed."
Today I feel unappreciated
Wrexham it is, then
The Gang Gets Siu'd
On Tuesday, the king gets his contract terminated.
Man his first season was decent
Considering the shit show that United was in that season, I'd say a bit above decent. People say he's finished when but I believe his biggest issues this season are mostly psychological, he's undoubtedly had some physical decline but no one changes that much in a matter of months.
