Why isn't it? If United find cause to terminate him and then Ronaldo disputes it, isn't that the start of a court case essentially? He would be a United employee until that was sorted.
Cristiano Ronaldo: Set to leave by mutual agreement

I hope we sue this rat and he ends up paying money to the club for breaching contract.
Whenever “Worst United signings ever” threads appear on here, which they seem to quite regularly, Alan Brazil’s name is rarely mentioned; presumably because people have completely forgotten about him.
It’s a name that ought to be mentioned a lot.
It’s a quote from a film I think. Can’t remember which though. Or maybe a book?What the feck is this postmy god
He could insult your mother and you'd find a way to sugar coat it
Edit: Inglorious Basterds
Didn't watch the multi-night spectacle, but how bad was it regarding Ronaldo bashing the club? Will he play again for us? Will he be excommunicated?
Would publicly saying that the club didn’t support him through his daughter’s illness when there is categorically proof that they gave him leave of absence not constitute gross misconduct?
It’s a very heavy accusation he’s thrown there. I’m not employment law expert admittedly, but that’s serious reputational damage on a downright lie.
He could go to Chelsea (if Boehly is making decision and not Potter) or Sporting Lisbon. Maybe there would be few other clubs as he would be on free.
Ah yes, just googled it and found this.

Well played by that poster then
The court case wouldn’t be about his registration though. We’d have sacked him and he would be a free agent. The court case would relate to the money he’d claim to be owed for breach of contract/wrongful termination.
This. This topic is more important.
Glad the club is terminating his contract. Every move Ronaldo made starting with asking to leave in the summer has backfired on him big time.
Some might think that this is a calculated move from him, but how all of this happening few days before playing in his final WC can be good for him? He came out of the interview looking bad, his contract will be terminated and he'll lose a lot of money in the process, and I can't imagine any top football club will be interested in him following this. He could've easily waited till after the WC, but he just couldn't help it. I think he'll be off to America soon.

I hope the contract gets terminated and no big team wants him. And then he goes to the US thinking that he can scrape a few trophies and moments of glory only to see the title slip away to a team called KFC Honeybadgers or some bullshit like that.
Completely different. Greenwood is facing criminal charges; sacking him might be regarded as prejudicing the outcome of a trial.
Fecking twat needs to be dragged over hot coals by ten hag.
We can't legally fire that prick because he hasn't been found guilty yet boss
Does anyone think Ronaldo has taken any legal advice before conducting this? I don’t think he has and assumed the club would pay him the rest of his contract and let him leave.
I don't think his Portuguese NT teammates would be best pleased either. They don't need this circus hovering over their world cup campaign. For his sake he better have a stormer of a world cup campaign to justify the hysterics he's generated through his own accord.
One is a civil matter, the other a criminal one. Does the German legal system not distinguish one from the other?
You can always count on the glazers to squeeze people in desperate times. Daddy glazer made big bucks with exactly this modus operandi.
That's not exactly how it works. The registration and the employment contract are too separate things, unless there is an agreement between Ronaldo and the club, the club is in possession of the registration until the end of June 2023. Now the issue with FIFA is that they don't accept transfer registrations when there is an ongoing litigation.
The most likely option is that Ronaldo and United find a mutual agreement. He is sacked for gross misconduct and either leave with or without compensation.
It's in everyone's interest that Ronaldo finds a suitable club by December.
Wonder if someone like Galatasaray will have a pop. Him and Icadi up front.
- Left United the first time after calling himself a slave and complaining about a lack of support from Gill and Sir Alex
- After ending up as probably Real Madrid's greatest ever player the club is seemingly very happy to get rid of him with their president on record calling him a sick man
- Leaving Juventus in financial disarray and their players and fans seemingly very happy to get rid of him
- Leaving United for the second time after probably getting his contract terminated and possibly suedfor breach of contract in the middle of the season
Burning bridges at the three biggest clubs in the three biggest football countries. GOAT legacy

Negative. Its solely in his best interest. As far as we're concerned we should be rid of him and his contract ASAP. What happens to him after should not be our concern. Let him and Mendes humiliate themselves begging any reputable club to sign him for the remainder of the season.
I don't think we should be looking to sue Ronaldo.
It was always a big possibility that United and Ronaldo could go to court over this.
Turkish clubs are hella broke atm. No way they'll be able to afford him, even with a modest paycut.
I wonder would the club take him back if he did a U-turn and apologized for everything. That would be a funny one to see.
I couldn’t give a feck about his interest. Our interest is to get rid in the cheapest way possible and he can do whatever he likes after that
Agreed. We have to fight fire with fire. Therefore we should siu him instead.
What?“I was put under pressure by Morgan to say these things. Where I come from, a rat is a friendly term”.
I’ve no doubt he was expecting to be paid off or club to cover majority of wages for him to go elsewhere. That would allow him to save face and potentially give him more options of where to go.
This is right decision though, if he wants to leave he’s welcome to, but he shouldn’t receive any kind of payoff.
I know it's not realistic but you lot should let him rot in individual training sessions for the next 18 months so he can play no more games and watch Messi score goal after goal.
Ian Wright summed it up perfectly. The guy needs to come to terms with his age and the fact it diminishes his ability to be at the very top of his profession. EtH is in charge of the squad and must act in the best interests of the club to get results. The team is certainly better without Ronaldo and I always thought the very same even with his goals last season.
Wright said: “For him not to be able to deal with his career coming to an end – it happens to all of us, it happened to me. You do feel a sense of ‘is that it?’ “It must be difficult for him and something he may need to seek counselling for.”

club that stands up for itself and doesn’t get extorted… who wants that sort of reputation looming around
There are several statements on his part that could be scrutinized and - possibly - be considered untruthful (with United being able to prove them as such).
If just one such statement can be proven to be untruthful, then - again - he's fecked: in the sense that he's made disparaging and potentially damaging comments about his employer that are unfounded.
