After leaving United, the 37-year-oldRonaldo found his second stint at the club difficult and he only scored one goal in 10 appearances this season.

In an interview with Piers Morgan for TalkTV, released on Sunday, Ronaldo was asked whether United’s hierarchy were trying to push him out of the club.

Ten Hag said last month that a player refused to come on as a substitute against Spurs when he was left on the bench.

The man who will captain Portugal in the World Cup said he didn’t have respect for Ten Hag because he didn’t show respect. I don’t have respect for anyone if they don’t respect me.

When contacted for comment, United did not respond immediately. After the Tottenham game, Ten Hag said Ronaldo remained “an important player in the squad.”

“But you have some things inside that don’t help (us) reach the top level as City, Liverpool and even now Arsenal… a club with this dimension should be top of the tree in my opinion and they are not, unfortunately.”

The club replaced manager Ole Solskjaer, a former teammate of the Portuguese, with his former lieutenant, Ralf Rangnick, also a former teammate.

The club said there would be history happening with the picture of the player holding up the jersey. Our club will achieve even greater success because of this signing and our league will inspire future generations, boys and girls, to be the best version of themselves. We welcome you to the new home of AlNassrFC.

The man who was a free agent because of his recent break-up with Manchester United didn’t have to wait until the January transfer window to put pen to paper on a new contract.

He had previously denied that he was close to signing with a club in Saudi Arabia.

He was the winner of five Ballon d’Or crowns while at Real Madrid and won three titles in the English top flight.

“This is a signing that will not only inspire our club to achieve even greater success but inspire our league, our nation and future generations, boys and girls to be the best version of themselves,” the club wrote.

It also gives the 37-year-old Ronaldo a massive payday in what could be the final contract of his career. Media reports have claimed the Portugal star could be earning up to $200 million a year from the deal.

While the signing is a massive boost for Middle Eastern soccer, it will also fuel the debate about Saudi Arabia using so-called “sportswashing” to boost the country’s image internationally. Saudi Arabia is considering a bid to host the World Cup in 2030.

After his contract with Manchester United was terminated due to an interview he did on TV, he became a free agent. He is coming off a disappointing World Cup where he was benched in the knockout rounds and Portugal lost in the quarterfinals to Morocco.

He will now seemingly see out the last years of his career far away from the spotlight of top European soccer, as he is by far the biggest name to go play in the Saudi Arabian league.

Saudi Arabia won its first game at the World Cup in order to stun Argentina and advance to the knockout stages. The domestic league is watched by only a small international audience and has few other stars.
