Cristiano Ronaldo
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.
Ronaldo's departure comes after the forward made a series of damning allegations in an interview and he departs without a payoff. His contract, worth about £500,000 a week, was due to expire in June. The news of Ronaldo's departure has been met with a mixture of shock and sadness from United fans, who will be sad to see one of the greatest players in their history leave.
