In the match against Tottenham Hotspur last month, Ronaldo refused to come on as a substitute. He was then left out of the squad for the visit to Chelsea, although he was later featured in the following game.
After months of struggling on the pitch and facing a barrage of rumors regarding his future, Ronaldo has finally broken the silence and this will probably be his last game for Man United.
Ronaldo was eager to leave Manchester this summer, but ended up sticking with it because no club was looking at him.
This January, once again, Ronaldo seems to be using it to return to looking for a new club, although so far no interest has come to submit an official proposal.
Football lawyer David Seligman stated that it is very likely that Ronaldo’s contract will be terminated by Man United. Seligman added that the Red Devils also have the power to prevent the Portuguese legend from joining other clubs.
“Man United will likely have grounds for terminating Ronaldo’s contract, material breach of trust and confidentiality duties and strict requirements about bringing the club into disrepute,” Seligman tweeted.
“Fifa rules / jurisprudence on player registration are not that simple. United can terminate the contract, but retain player registration for compensation reasons if the termination is caused by Ronaldo’s behavior,” he explained.
This may seem like an exaggeration, but unexpected things can happen. Even if Man United can prevent Ronaldo from joining other clubs through FIFA rules, it is also difficult to imagine Ronaldo will join a big club in the transfer market this winter.
