Following his interview with Piers Morgan, it was decided that he would leave Manchester United.
After issuing a 67-word statement on Tuesday evening, United announced they had reached a mutual agreement with the forward.
In an interview with TalkTV that aired on Wednesday and Thursday last week, the player said he felt betrayed by the club and had no respect for the manager.
The Portugal captain, who is currently representing his country at the World Cup, also claimed members of the United hierarchy were trying to force him out of Old Manchester and doubted him when he said he could not attend pre-season because of his daughter's illness.
After the full facts have been established, United decided to part ways with the five time Ballon d'Or winner.
A settlement fee was not included in the end of the contract. The Sky Sports News senior reporter said that United were saving about £16 million because there wasn't aPayout.
There is a sense of relief at the club that the issue has been solved and that they will be in a better position in the second half of the season.

Everyone at Manchester United is focused on continuing the team's progress and delivering success on the field.
"We have mutually agreed to end our contract early, following conversations with Manchester United."
I love Manchester United and will never change. I think it's the right time for me to try a new thing.
I wish the team the best of luck for the rest of the season and the future.
Manchester United could finally be sold by its American owners after a 17-year reign dominated by fan protests and declining on-pitch performance. Sky News can exclusively reveal the Glazer family is preparing to formally announce its intention to examine potential sources of outside investment that could include a full-blown auction of arguably the world's most famous football club. Sources said on Tuesday investment bankers were being instructed by Manchester United's owners to advise on the process, which is likely to include a full or partial sale, or strategic partnership with third parties.
A statement confirming their intentions could come imminently, one of them said.
It was important for United to show respect to Portugal during the World Cup and to keep the distraction to a minimum.
Last week, Sky Sports News learned that United did not accept some of the criticisms made by the player.
In the 13 years since he left Old United, the club has not invested as much as he would have liked. According to sources, United have invested in their facilities.
Sources said that the club and the manager respected the Portuguese star even though he was critical of Ten Hag.
According to Sky Sports News, United would have accepted an offer from Saudi Arabia in the summer, but they didn't want to take it. There were no other offers made for the player.

During his interview with Morgan, he said he had been offered a two-year contract worth 350m from a Saudi Arabian club. Despite no offers being made for him in the summer transfer window, he still had interest from top European sides.
"I didn't have a lot of clubs, but I have many offers of the other clubs," saidRonaldo. The press keeps saying that nobody wants me.
What are the options for the man who wants to play until he's 40?

Sky sports reporter, Kaveh Solhekol.
How many clubs would pay him half a million dollars a week? A person who is 37 years old is fading. He is not as good as he was.
He is a free agent, so he will be more attractive to European clubs in the competition. Nobody has to deal with Manchester United if they want to give him a contract. You just sit down and talk to the agent. He's going to want a big signing-on fee as well, but I wouldn't discount him moving to a European club that's in the playoffs.
You have to say Saudi Arabia if he's trying to get money. He had a big offer to go in the summer and I think he's going to get some opportunities there. MLS would not be discounted. There are going to be clubs that want to sign him.
I don't believe he will go to MLS. It's more likely that he'll get what he wants when he finds a club in the European competition.
Even though he is a free agent, Paris Saint-Germain don't want to sign him.

Sky Sports News has an editor named Andy Mitten.
It is the right thing. This is the correct decision after that interview. The club wanted to reach an agreement with the people of the player.
He wanted to leave Manchester United. He wants to leave the club and both parties will move on.
It will be remembered as the best player I have ever seen play for Manchester United in the first season of their existence, and it was a success.
The season has not been a success and it's been frustrating to watch him decline. He doesn't think he will be able to contribute a lot at Manchester United.
Most Manchester United fans will wish him well if he isn't at either Manchester City orLiverpool.

Gary said there was no way back forRonaldo after his interview.
If he wanted to return, he wouldn't have done this interview. He knew it would be the end of his United career.
If they open up a precedent, any player can criticize them in the future.
"It's not true, what he said, but all's fair in love and war," he said when asked if he was against his former teammate.
I know I have to accept criticism and I get a lot of it back. I played with a lot of my team mates.
I'm not against the guy. I can't have any more respect for him. He's the best player I've ever played with and he's the most talented player I've ever played with.

In a new job, you try to impress people. The house in Manchester was so bad in the last five years that they should clean it.
The way the press makes this so big is what makes it so big. I don't start to play until I go further than that, but I understand in the beginning.
People don't know about other things. The coach's empathy is not good. I'm telling the truth.
"I don't have respect for him because he doesn't have respect for me, that's one of the highlights of my interview with him," saidRonaldo.
He changed his mind after giving an interview to United in June in which he said he was happy at the club and urged Ten Hag to stay.
Was the new jabs at Ten Hag just in reference to his lack of starts in the premier league?
This is a player who was given the captain's armband after walking out of the team's win over Spurs. When United were beaten by Manchester City, Ten Hag said he didn't sub forRonaldo out of respect for his career.
Ten Hag always insisted that he was an important part of his plans, even though United felt they had to accommodateRonaldo.
What United didn't do was give him a starting spot. He was their top scorer last season, but with Ten Hag now in charge the statistics backed up the use ofRonaldo
United's win rate tripled, their points return doubled, their scoring rate tripled and the team ran on average 4 km more per game whenRonaldo wasn't in the league.
The abrupt end to a career at United that was revived in August last year is caused by the departure ofRonaldo.
He was going to join Manchester City but United swooped in and took him back to his hometown.
As a teenager, he joined United fromSporting Lisbon. He went on to win more than one title with Real Madrid.
He returned to United as a five-time Ballon d'Or winner after a nine-year stint at Real Madrid and three at Bianconeri.
He scored 18 goals in the premier league last season, but United struggled and finished sixth.
He missed the pre-season tour and didn't start a single game in the current campaign. He refused to come on as a substitute against Spurs after leaving the ground early during a friendly.
After scoring a total of 145 goals in 343 appearances, it's time forRonaldo to leave United for good.
