Cristiano Ronaldo has stated that his relationship with Manchester United has come to an end.
The 37-year-old made history on Thursday night, November24, when he became the first man to score at five World Cups, his 65th-minute penalty helping Portugal beat Ghana 3-2 at Stad
Ronaldo was named FIFA's Player of the Match, which required him to attend the press conference that followed.
He stayed in the room for 132 seconds and answered one question but, for the first time, publicly addressed his situation.
'It is important we won,' said Ronaldo, shaking his head when he heard United's name mentioned. 'It was a week that finished this chapter. It is closed and now I want to start with the good foot. We started here, we won. I want to help my team and all the rest of the squad.
He added: 'This was a beautiful moment – my fifth World Cup. It is very important to win. We know in these competitions, the first match in crucial. But, also, the world record, the only player to score in five World Cups makes me very proud. The team made a good result in a tough game.'
