Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United were embroiled in controversy due to the nature of their iconic number 7’s exit. With the appointment of Erik ten Hag as the manager, Cristiano Ronaldo not only saw a dip in his playing time but a dip in his output as well. It came to a point where Cristiano Ronaldo left the pitch in the middle of the game after the manager benched him. Everyone could see the writing on the wall, but the final nail in this coffin came through the explosive interview the Portuguese soccer star did with Piers Morgan. Now, it appears that Manchester United is ready to go to war with Ronaldo’s new club.

After he openly criticized the manager and the board of the club in the interview, United made no delay in terminating Ronaldo’s contract. Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr got this news, and they got in planning mode. They tabled an offer so lucrative, Ronaldo ignored the fact that he once said he will be retiring in Europe. Cristiano Ronaldo will make half a billion dollars in the next 5 years of Al-Nassr.
