In a post on its verified Instagram page, Premier League quoted Ronaldo to have said, “I love Manchester Utd and I love the fans, that will never change. It feels like the right time to seek a new challenge. I wish Manchester Utd all the best,” with the league calling it ‘@cristiano’s farewell message to @manchesterunited.’

Man United had on Tuesday announced that Ronaldo would leave the club by mutual agreement with immediate effect.

The club, however, thanked the Portuguese for his contribution during the two spells which saw him score 145 goals in 346 appearances.

This was disclosed in a statement on the club’s official website on Tuesday.

The statement read in part, “Cristiano Ronaldo is to leave Manchester United by mutual agreement, with immediate effect.

“The club thanks him for his immense contribution across two spells at Old Trafford, scoring 145 goals in 346 appearances, and wishes him and his family well for the future.

“Everyone at Manchester United remains focused on continuing the team’s progress under Erik ten Hag and working together to deliver success on the pitch.”

…Glazers considering selling of club

Meanwhile, new developments are pointing towards the fact that the Glazers have finally folded after years of pressure from the fans to sell Manchester United.

According to Sky News, the Glazer family is exploring the possibility of selling Man United after their 17-year reign as owners, Sky Sport News reported Tuesday night.

It was gathered that Glazer family were “exploring financial options” after a 17-year ownership that had seen the majority of the fan base turn against them. This comes just weeks after Liverpool’s American ownership FSG announced that they would also be exploring their financial options.
