Ronaldo and The Red Devils mutually parted ways this week after the player's explosive interview with Piers Morgan, where he criticised the club and manager Erik ten Hag.

The 37-year-old was linked with a number of top clubs before the start of the season, but there were reportedly no offers for his services.
Despite some of the criticism this season, Silva believes Ronaldo is still valuable to the national side.
"We are happy to know that we can still count on Cristiano – not just the goal but he worked a lot for the team," Silva said, as per the Mirror.
"What he does now is his decision and the decision of whoever it is who offers him a contract.
“I think he can still play at the very top. It depends on what Ronaldo wants. I don’t know what he wants for his life. He has to speak with his family and decide for himself, right?
“I support his decision in terms of it’s his decision. He’s my team-mate in Portugal – if he’s happy, we’re happy. He’s been fine, he’s been great.”
