His career at the top level is over due to his contract with Riyadh. According to reports, the Portuguese superstar was close to a move to a club that played in the European Championship.

He lashed out at the club in an interview with Piers Morgan, saying he felt betrayed by the way they treated him. He said that he thought United was trying to get him out.

After spending the previous two years with Bianconeri,Ronaldo returned to Manchester United in the 21st century. In 2009, he moved to Real Madrid.

The return to the premier league of the 37 year old was tumultuous. While he scored 24 goals in all competition, the Red United finished sixth in the league and were knocked out of the playoffs.

Manchester United failed to qualify for the playoffs this season and is currently fifth in the league with a 9-4 record.

The Portuguese player played off the bench in four of the 10 games he appeared in for Manchester United. It was clear thatRonaldo wanted out.

During his interview with Morgan, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner said he was unhappy with the lack of progress at the English side.

The progress was not good. I didn't see any change since Sir Alex left. No changes had been made.

At the World Cup, he only scored one goal in five matches for the Portuguese team, who were knocked out of the tournament in the quarterfinals.

Now that he's at Al Nassr, it's possible that he'll try to get back to the top of his game.
