The club announced on Tuesday that the player would leave by mutual agreement.

The two sides agreed to end his contract.

After talks with Manchester United, we've mutually agreed to end our contract. I am a huge fan of Manchester United and will never change. It's the right time to try a new thing. I hope Man United does well.

After a season of discontent from the player's side, the move doesn't come as much of a surprise.

In October of last year, after refusing to be taken off during a 2-0 victory over Spurs, he left the stadium before his teammates made it back to the locker room.

That resulted in a one- match suspension.

It was the second time in less than a year that he left a match early, as he did in the second half of a preseason game in July.

It was obvious thatRonaldo wasn't happy with the body language.

Things came to a head last week when the interview with Piers Morgan was made public.

The owners of Manchester United don't care about the club, according to the player.

He said that Manchester is a marketing club. They will get money from the marketing and they don't care about the sport.

He claimed that some people at the club didn't believe him when he took time away from the club while his daughter was having a health issue.

He said that they didn't believe there was something going wrong. I will not change the health of my family for football. It will never happen. Ten years behind or forward?

The club pushed back against the claim.

Several people at United tried to force him out of the club over the past two years, according to the player.

He doesn't have respect for the manager because he doesn't show respect for him. I won't have respect for you if you don't have respect for me.

It was reported last week that Ten Hag met with the club's co-chairman, co-owner, chief executive, and football director to discuss the future of the player.

Ten Hag was able to fulfill his wishes. Even though he was angling to be so toxic that United had no choice but to part ways with him.
