Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has broken his silence following Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Al Nassr.

Ronaldo has been without a club for weeks now after United terminated his contract prematurely back in November.

The Red Devils cut ties with the veteran striker after his explosive interview with British journalist Piers Morgan.

The interview saw Ronaldo take issue with United's top brass, including Ten Hag who he accused of disrespecting.

Ronaldo had initially declared his intent to continue playing at the highest level despite his advancing age.

However, the Portugal international went on to move to Asia, joining Al Nassr, who are plying their trade in the Saudi Pro League.

"History in the making. 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," Al Nassr said in a statement announcing Ronaldo's arrival.

And when asked what he thought of Ronaldo’s decision to move to Asia, Ten Hag delivered a brutal snub.

Speaking after his side's narrow win over Wolves, the Dutchman said via The Sun:

“I don’t talk about the past. Let’s talk about the future.”

Meanwhile, Ronaldo's move to Al Nassr will see him link up with Cameroonian star Vincent Aboubakar.

Sports Brief earlier reported that Cristiano Ronaldo has made his first statements as the new player of Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was officially announced as the latest signing of Al Nassr on Friday evening after he signed a mouthwatering deal to June 2025.

Ronaldo's move to the Middle East brings an end to speculations surrounding his future after he prematurely ended his stint with Manchester United just before the 2022 World Cup.
