That opens up room for him to sue the club and still get compensation. Easiest way is to just mutually terminate and not owe him anything else.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Good riddance and feck off. Not a legend and never will be one. Just an old twat.
Suggested that it could have gotten messy but didn't. Either way, he gave up 16M.
Is he there as electrician?
This is what I suspected. They held all the cards after the interview.
It's all sad, really. We never should have signed him. That was bad business from the start. I understand the emotional side of it, but there was a lot in his past to indicate it was never going to work. To this day, I don't believe Ole wanted the signing but was left with no choice, either explicit or implied. And I am convinced that's what led to the locker room breakdown that cost Ole his job.
That said, ETH handled the whole situation about as well as any manager could.
Ronaldo's biggest challenge going forward is finding a team that wants him.
Glazer dividends next yearThe wage bill
I'd be shocked if this didn't have a liberating effect on the squad. Thank feck this circus is over, and let's hope his brainwashed cult fanboys leave too.
Took him long enough.
This is the worst of it for me. Outside of being nothing of what he was, he's actively detrimental to the team. It's no coincidence we scored something like 20 fewer goals the season after signing him. Everything has to to be given to Ronaldo, no matter how shit he is, and no matter how many other players are in better positions.
He doesn't have the burst of acceleration to get separation from a defender and create space to shoot. He doesn't have the pace to run in behind. He doesn't have the leap he used to have for headers. He doesn't press. He doesn't hold the ball up and link up play. He can't do anything you'd want from any type of half decent striker. Everything has to be put on a plate for him, and even then his conversion rate is no better than any given bang average mid-table PL striker.
I'd be so, so happy to see the back of him from a purely footballing perspective, even if he wasn't as much of a cnut as he is and none of the drama had happened.
I'm actually agreeing with you. I think Sporting should stay well clear. No matter what he means to the club.
Good riddance.
It's like a new signing.
Obviously a shit way for it all to end after we were all buzzing when he re-signed…but he’s been a complete tit and can’t come to terms with the fact he’s in the middle of his Gary Neville West Brom toilet moment.
What a disastrous decision was to bring him back. All leadership should be ashamed, but Ole perhaps the most as he was the boss at the time. What an expensive waste of time this was.
That's cutting to the heart of the issue.
Agreed it's the correct decision from a performance basis.
Think timelines are more important here for both parties. Ronaldo wants a new club and we want rid of the drama. Neither wanted it to drag on which a negotiated fee would have done.
It was obvious this would be the outcome as soon as the interview went out.
Playing Elanga over him literally is. Even if it just means putting other players in their better positions. We've been better like that all season. Will be even better with Sancho and Antony back.
It's funny because it's trueCocks out.
All this has been worth it just to see him not join city and potentially help them lift their first champions league trophy. Imagine…
Best news this season!!
Just pray the old farts in the board room can contain themselves next time a past it superstar comes looking for one last payout.

Not necessarily always. Sometimes both parties can agree upon a fee to terminate the contract which will be less than the value of the remaining contract.
EtH passed his acid test.
Looking at the odds for his next club Sporting,Chelsea, Any MLS club,PSG,Napoli and Roma. The latter with a fellow ego and past his best would seem a decent fit.
For all his failings, I very much doubt Ronaldo was one of Ole's transfer targets. The club wanted him for obvious financially-motivated reasons and Ole was either too spineless or simply not in a position perhaps to push back. The fact that it was Sir Alex that called Ronaldo and begged him to come is telling enough in itself.
Suiiiiii
Ive been saying it for years.Have to say the final parting shot was a little funny

Proper dickhead till the end
Hope this arduous saga has opened the eyes of a lot of our fans as to his supposed 'legend' status for this club.
We were only ever a stepping stone at the start and an easy cheque for him at the end for him
You cant wake up people who are pretending to sleep.
United threatening to sue is the opposite of neither side wanted it to drag on. If we believe the reports, United gave him an ultimatum, you leave now for free or later while paying us.
Him or his new wax statue?
Fecking beautiful news that he won't get another penny. Sweet.
Goodbye to the King of Pricks.
Siiiiiiuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!
An absolute marvel in his prime, one of the the very best to ever play the game. It was an honour to see him play in his pomp in his first spell. From a step overing 'show pony' to a remarkable goal scoring machine.
I don't think anyone really believed that he was the player he once was when we re-signed him but there was hope he wouod still offer enough to be worthy of the circus.
Unfortunately he became all to clear quite quickly that he was very much in decline and quite a sharp one at that, despite some occasions where he rolled the years back and still produced the magic it was very now the exception rather than the norm.
Shame it's ended the way it has but ultimatly he has always been a bit of a cnut and his ego can't cope with his decline.

Hopefully this ends the stop gap policy.
Yea. All his fan boys need to stop dreaming and come back to reality. He struggled to score against fecking Omonia and Sheriff in the EL, what makes people think he will make someone CL favorites? Delusional at its best.Ronaldo isn't moving the needle for any CL team, stop it.
Dude couldn't even hack it in Europa this season.
feck him. Buzzing i wont have watch him stink the place out again.
I fancy him to cost Napoli the leagueRonaldo isn't moving the needle for any CL team, stop it.
Dude couldn't even hack it in Europa this season.
Now we can sign Modric and Benzema
Absolute horseshit, the sooner so called ‘fans’ stop this ridiculous narrative the better..
