- Cristiano Ronaldo has left Manchester United after the club confirmed the news
- Man United announced that the decision was made by mutual agreement
- Club supporters reacted en masse to the departure of the club legend on social media
- Some suggested that the outcome of the situation was “best for all involved”
Manchester United supporters have parted ways with club legend Cristiano Ronaldo after the club confirmed the club’s immediate departure from the superstar striker at Old Trafford.
United announced troublemaker Ronaldo would leave the 13-time Premier League champion following his highly critical interview in which he targeted manager Erik ten Hag, teammates and the club’s owners.
Fans and rival supporters who took to social media in the immediate wake of the breaking news announcement waved goodbye to the 37-year-old, who was assured of a fairytale return to the club at the start of last season under then-manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Mixed reactions on social media showed most United fans happy the ugly situation had been resolved, while others labeled his departure as a “sad end” to what has been a magical Manchester United career for the Portuguese star.
Things seemed unlikely to end on a positive note after the star took part in a televised interview with Piers Morgan where he aired some of his problems with Manchester United, and the way the club is run.
Certain concerned United supporters believe Ronaldo’s latest career move has only precipitated the inevitable situation in January.
However, despite his great interview, some supporters still look back fondly on his countless ‘magical moments’ in Manchester, although there are no more moments for fans and the Portuguese star to share with his confirmed departure.
One of them responded to Manchester United’s official tweet about the matter, saying: “Ronaldo is bigger than your lousy club.”
Another fan thanked Ronaldo for his work with Manchester United over the years, adding: “I wish the ending had been happier, but we still love you. Siuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!”, in honor of the 37-year-old’s famous statement, which was echoed by Saudi Arabia fans in Qatar after their victory on Tuesday.
Some fans were quick to thank Cristiano Ronaldo for his great service to Manchester United
Others believed it was the result of what happens when you criticize the club and senior staff on unofficial channels – and that it showed that Ronaldo was no bigger than Manchester United, despite his ego-driven action .
One user said, “You have spoken badly about your employer in public, now face the consequences, no matter how good a footballer you are, no one is bigger than the club!”
Another added: ‘Respect to United for actually supporting the manager over that diva. Signs of a club starting to take their future seriously.”
Another shared their conflicting feelings about Ronaldo’s departure, saying his long-term success for United outweighs the bitter feud of recent times. They commented: ‘@Cristiano will always be a #ManUtd legend, just not as great as he could have been…’
Other users lashed out at star Ronaldo for the sour way his departure from the club came about
A fan account by Liverpool striker Mo Salah said of Ronaldo: ‘Came back to the league, was embarrassed on his own turf and ran when the going got tough.’ They also cheekily added ‘Thanks for the memories’ before tagging the Portuguese star, who will become one of the few to star at a World Cup without a club assignment.
One of them said, “On the horse you rode…” and made his choice to be involved in Morgan’s great interview, which aired on two programs earlier this month.
Rival fans were also quick to mock Ronaldo when Manchester United announced his departure
Another said: ‘Not a utd legend in my books’, despite winning three Premier League titles, the 2008 Champions League and five other trophies with Manchester United during his first spell at the club, which ran from 2003 to 2009 .
Apart from some World Cup friendlies, Manchester United’s competitive return will see them host Burnley in the Carabao Cup on December 21, six days ahead of their Premier League game against Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford.
