Q. Why did Cristiano Ronaldo leave Manchester United for Al-Nassr?

Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United for Al-Nassr in January 2023 due to a mutual agreement to terminate his contract with the club. The decision came after a tumultuous few months, including an explosive interview where Ronaldo criticized the club and its manager, Erik ten Hag. The interview led to a breakdown in his relationship with the team, and he eventually parted ways with Manchester United. Ronaldo then signed a lucrative 2.5-year deal with Al-Nassr, reportedly worth over $200 million per year, making him one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. The move marked a new chapter in Ronaldo’s career, as he joined the Saudi Pro League at the age of 37.
