'It feels like the right time for me to seek a new challenge.': Cristiano Ronaldo posts statement on Old Trafford exit

Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed his abrupt Manchester United exit with an official statement on the situation.

The press release reads: "Following conversations with Man United we have mutually agreed to end our contract early.

"I love Manchester United and I love the fans, that will never ever change. However, it feels like the right time for me to seek a new challenge.

"I wish the team every success for the remainder of the season and for the future."

Ronaldo spoke to controversial British TV personality without authorisation from the club earlier this month, attacking the state of things at Old Trafford.

The 37-year-old's exit before the January transfer window appears to be the best solution for everyone involved as the two sides look to part ways amicably.
