The Portuguese attacker terminated his contract with Manchester United before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with Manchester United.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been living a new stage in his career since last January. The Portuguese attacker terminated his contract with Manchester United before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with Manchester United. He was the first Portuguese to play for the Red Devils where he arrived in 2003 and was the most expensive youth player at the time.

There, in Manchester, the star that Ronaldo is today began to be forged. He inherited the 7 from David Beckham and used it as motivation. Another key element in his development was Sir Alex Ferguson, his first coach in England, described by Cristiano himself as his footballing father.


Cristiano Ronaldo decided to leave Manchester United and join Al Nassr for the following reasons; He was not the undisputed starter in Erik ten Hag's scheme, the bad relationship with Erik ten Hag since the preseason and the interview with Piers Morgan where he harshly criticized Erik ten Hag and the way Manchester United was managed by the Glazers .


Cristiano Ronaldo's salary in Saudi football is estimated to be approximately 200 million euros per season, according to Fabrizio Romano. Cristiano Ronaldo has been playing for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia since his signing became official on December 30, 2022. In the team from the capital, Riyadh, there are other international footballers such as David Ospina, Gonzalo 'Pity' Martínez, Talisca, Alex Telles, Marcelo Brozovic and Seko Fofana while it is coached by the Portuguese Luís Castro.
