Cristiano Ronaldo will leave Manchester United by mutual agreement, with immediate effect, the communication department of the team informed in a release, on Tuesday.

"The club thanks him for his immense contribution across two spells at Old Trafford, scoring 145 goals in 346 appearances, and wishes him and his family well for the future." the statement said.

The team's official website further said that everyone at Manchester United is focused on continuing the team’s progress under Erik ten Hag and is working to deliver success.

Ronaldo's exit marks a bitter end to his second stint with the Premier League club. 

The Portugal captain had earlier revealed that he felt "betrayed" in an interview to The Sun. In the interview, criticising Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, Ronaldo said, "Yes, I feel betrayed. Some people don't want me here not only this year, but last year too."

Ronaldo started his first stint with the club as a teenager, before returning to it as a 37-year-old, in 2021.
