Ronaldo's contract termination

After missing ten Hag's maiden preseason tour as United boss, Ronaldo found it hard to break into the starting XI. He had a run-in with the former Ajax manager after he walked out off the pitch during United's clash against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.

Ten Hag and the club's board decided that enough was enough after his Piers Morgan interview. His contract was terminated, rendering him clubless.

Neville's brutal message to Ronaldo

Neville has now opined that there is no way three managers can be wrong about one specific individual.

"His long-term legacy is set; he is one of the great all-time players. But in the short-term he has got to do a lot better because is the Juventus manager wrong? Is the Manchester United manager wrong? And now is the Portugal manager wrong? Three of them have done the same thing with him," as Tribal Football reports.

Neville was speaking after Ronaldo was benched for Portugal's round of 16 clash against Switzerland. Fernando Santos's men made light work of the Swiss opposition by winning with a flattering score line despite not having their all-time top scorer for long periods.

How Ronaldo reacted to his omission

While many thought Ronaldo was unhappy with the decision, Santos has come out to reveal that the former Manchester United star was calm with the move.

Walked off alone
