Cristiano Ronaldoā€˜s return to Manchester United didn’t go as predicted. Though he was one of their few bright spots last season, the Portuguese star was dropped to a secondary role this term and eventually rescinded his contract after taking a huge shot at Erik ten Hag and the board.

His future now looks uncertain, as Ronaldo has yet to find a new club after Portugalā€˜s heartbreaking elimination from the 2022 World Cup. The 37-year-old had already been linked to other clubs while at United, but even as a free agent he’s struggling to find alanding spot.

The all-time top scorer of the competition, Ronaldo was understood to be looking for a Champions League club all these months. No deal was materialized, though it’s believed that he was offered to every team in the tournament.
