Before Ronaldo made his move to Saudi Arabia, he reportedly waited for Real Madrid’s decision. The Portuguese superstar joined Al Nassr a month after Manchester United, the club where he had a second spell from 2021-22 after a brief spell with Juventus, terminated his contract midway.

In an interview, Ronaldo criticised the Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag and the club’s owners after having been repeatedly benched and even temporarily suspended by the club.
