Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United
Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United from Juventus last year was met with fanfare by the club’s supporters, but his second spell at the club failed to match the success of his first as United finished last season without any trophies.
Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United brought the 37-year-old’s second spell at the club to a difficult and disappointing end after he scored just once in 10 Premier League appearances this season. He was largely used as a substitute on the bench by Ten Hag, and in October coach Erik ten Hag refused him entry to the pitch against Tottenham Hotspur. He disrespects the rest of his teammates and coach Erik ten Hag. During the match, the camera spotted Ronaldo, who seemed very upset at staying away from goals and scoring.
In an interview with Piers Morgan for TalkTV released just before the start of the World Cup, Ronaldo explained how he felt betrayed by United and had no respect for manager Erik ten Hag.
Despite a disappointing Qatar 2022 World Cup with Portugal, Ronaldo became the first man to score in five World Cups.
