Zero compensation from Ronaldo’s exit
According to James Ducker from Telegraph, Ronaldo stood to earn up to another £17 million from a contract that ran until the end of the season.
However, as it stands, the English club seems to be confident that they have strong legal grounds to sue for breach of contract.
United were determined to ditch Ronaldo without a pay-off in the belief he had breached his contract and the player will walk away from Old Trafford with nothing.
This started with Ronaldo’s explosive interview with Piers Morgan which damaged the player’s image and status in the club.
Before the notorious interview, Ronaldo refused to come as substitute against Tottenham last month.
