Why did ronaldo leave man u ? Though Cristiano Ronaldo will always be remembered fondly for his first spell at Manchester United, his second will be go down in infamy.

The announcement of his return was greeted with celebration by the United fanbase and his second debut against Newcastle United also went to plan, scoring a brace in front of the Old Trafford faithful. But then things started to go wrong.

United began to lose, and lose hard. The final straw for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came against Watford where the team lost 4-1 and the Norwegian was sacked. In his place, Ralf Rangnick was appointed interim manager.

Things did not improve, however. Though United had progressed to the Champions League knockout stages but crashed out against Atletico Madrid and Ronaldo’s goals began to dry up in the league, with the club falling out of the race to the top four.

A final burst saw Ronaldo end on 18 goals for the season, only behind Mohammed Salah and Heung Min Son in the goalscoring chats, but it was too little too late. United would not be in the Champions League for the 2022/23 season. This is where the problems between the 37-year-old and the club began to bubble over.

Cristiano Ronaldo leaves Man United by ‘mutual agreement’

Manchester United have confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo has left the club, effective immediately.

Ronaldo, 37, 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.

“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.”

Sources have told ESPN that Ronaldo wanted to leave and that United have not paid him to go.

Ronaldo’s contract at Old Trafford was due to run until June, but United sought to cancel it early after the striker told Morgan the club had made “zero progress” since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 and that he “doesn’t respect” Ten Hag.

In a simultaneous statement, Ronaldo, who rejoined United from Juventus in 2021, said it was “time for a new challenge.” He said: “Following conversations with Manchester United we have mutually agreed to end our contract early.

“I love Manchester United and I love the fans, that will never ever change. However, it feels like the right time for me to seek a new challenge.

“I wish the team every success for the remainder of the season and for the future.”

Ronaldo is in Qatar preparing for his first game at the World Cup, with Portugal due to face Ghana on Thursday.

He is free to join another club immediately after leaving Old Trafford and will not have to wait until the January transfer window.

United had been keen to resolve the situation quickly, with sources telling ESPN they were ready to sue for breach of contract if a mutual termination could not be agreed.

Why Would Cristiano Ronaldo Leave Manchester United for Real Madrid?

Cristiano Ronaldo has been Manchester United’s best player this season, scoring a sensational 42 goals, and was instrumental in securing a Premiership and Champions League double.

But now that Real Madrid are courting him and the player is interested, what shirt will Ronaldo be wearing come September?

Ronaldo’s decision, if it is to leave, will likely break the transfer record set by Zidane; anywhere between 80-100 million euro’s has been quoted. The Bernabeu club can afford this because they stand top of the Deloitte money league.

No one can question Real’s ambition and reasoning for this move, but you have to question Cristiano himself. Why would he swap England for Spain and Manchester for Madrid?

Ronaldo has won everything he possibly can in England: League Cup, FA Cup, Premiership, and Champions League. In Madrid, there is everything to play for, but as a professional footballer the hunger should remain to win again with the Red Devils.

The winger/forward is adored in Manchester, idolised by United fans across the globe. Real Madrid could not offer that kind of support. If he were to fall on his face in Spain, he’d receive the white hankie treatment. His fan base currently unrivaled, why leave it?

While on the topic of support, do Man Utd not deserve some loyalty for standing by him during the Rooney incident?

Every fan in the country, even some United fans, wanted him out, but the club stuck by him which is one of the main reasons he is where he is.

The managers at each club draw another striking comparison, Sir Alex Ferguson or Bernd Schuster.

One is a Scottish serial winner who has 10 league titles to his name with two European Cups.

The other, a German who’s only managerial achievment pre-Madrid was leading Getafe to a cup final. On that criteria, David Gill could give Redknapp the United job.

Looking at both clubs recent history, Man Utd are champions home and abroad while Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia have shared La Liga among themselves since 2002.

Madrid are without a Champions League title since 2002, and the semi’s since 2003. If Ronaldo ever wants to add another European medal to his collection, he knows where to stay.

Goals are scored through teamwork, and Madrid’s top striker is a certain Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Toward the end of 2005-06, the Dutchman reportedly told Ronaldo to go cry to his Dad.

Ronaldo’s dad was recently deceased. Can he play with Van Nistelrooy?

The Premiership is undoubtably a better league than La Liga, and sometimes a players dominance in one country does not translate to another. A good example is Thierry Henry, who hasn’t adapted to Spanish life and is constantly linked with a return.

Could Ronaldo shape his game to suit Spain?

Ronaldo might cite being “stale” as a reason of departure, but I’ve never bought into this excuse, ever.

Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs, two fellow teammates, have played at Old Trafford all their careers and still maintain hunger for more. Surely Ronaldo can attain that; if not, his reputation as a professional is severely shot.

I often thought “Marc, study for your exams” was pressure, but when Ronaldo’s mum comes out and states she doesn’t want to die without seeing her son in the famous white jersey in the Bernabeu? Talk about pressure. That is the definition of a guilt trip.

I feel it is almost inevitable Ronaldo will move to Real someday, maybe not this year, but all this speculation comes from those stupid quotes he repeats: “Future, no one knows, future, no one knows”

Ronaldo must think long and hard about his future, because everything is going for him at Manchester. Does he risk his legacy in Old Trafford for his “Future”?
