"Cristiano Ronaldo is to leave Manchester United by mutual agreement, with immediate effect."
"The club thanks him for his immense contribution across two spells at Old Trafford, scoring 145 goals in 346 appearances and wishes him and his family well for the future," the club added.

While Ronaldo is currently on international duty with Portugal for the 2022 World Cup, the veteran striker will also be having his eyes fixated on hunting for a new club.

Which clubs could Ronaldo join?

Despite his advancing age, Ronaldo is expected not to fall short of options as he looks for a club to join ahead of the January transfer window.

According to Mirror UK, a return to Sporting Lisbon could be on the cards for the 37-year-old close to two decades after he dumped them.

A shock move to Premier League rivals Chelsea has also been mooted, while Bayern Munich could also be an option.

Paris Saint-Germain are the other European giants Ronaldo could sign for in a sensational transfer that could see him play alongside long-time football nemesis Lionel Messi.

Napoli represents the best destination for the veteran forward in Italy, while another reunion with Real Madrid could be explored.

Elsewhere, the Portuguese star has also been linked with a possible switch to Newcastle United.
