The Portuguese striker has invited to Saudi Arabia the footballers with whom he established a better relationship during his last spell with the Red Devils.
Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t have the best start at Manchester United before joining Al Nassr in the Saudi league. For the same reason, and in order to compensate for what happened to those close to him, the Portuguese striker invited the footballers he was closest to in the Middle Eastern country to spend a few days on vacation.
As The Sun reported, the Portuguese has also invited several of his former teammates including Casemiro and Varane whom he also met at Real Madrid, teammate Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire.
Moreover, in the post, they point out that it is also likely that these meetings with their friends occur more frequently in Lisbon, Portugal. This is due to the tightness of the European schedule, in addition to the fact that Ronaldo will have the opportunity to travel to Portugal’s capital more often to take stock of the progress at his new home.
The end of the cycle at Manchester United
It should be remembered that the relationship between Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United did not end in the best of ways. Indeed, the second stage between the player and the Red Devils ended in the middle of the World Cup in Qatar while the Portuguese was in full concentration with the selection.
“Cristiano Ronaldo will leave Manchester United by mutual agreement, with immediate effect,” they said from the then English club through an official statement.
“The club thanks him for his immense contribution during two spells at Old Trafford, scoring 145 goals in 346 appearances, and wishes him and his family all the best for the future,” they continued.
“Everyone at Manchester United remains focused on continuing the team’s progress under Erik ten Hag and working together to achieve success on the pitch,” the message concluded.
A few hours later, CR7 took the floor via Twitter to thank United fans. “Following discussions with Manchester United, we have mutually agreed to terminate the contract early.”
“I love Manchester United and I love the fans, that will never change. However, it seems like now is the time to look for a new challenge,” he added. team for the rest of the season and for the future”, he concluded on the occasion.
The break
The distance between Manchester United manager Erick Ten Hag was evident in a Sky channel interview given a week before the start of the World Cup. “Did they try to kick me out of the club? Yes, not just the coach (Erik ten Hag), but also two or three people around the club. Honestly, I shouldn’t say that, but I felt betrayed not only this year, but also last year.”
Regarding the DT, he said that “I don’t have any respect for him because he doesn’t show me any respect. If you don’t have respect for me, I will never have it for you.”
