In late 2022, he fell out with Erik ten Hag during his second spell at Manchester United. He gave an unauthorised explosive interview to Piers Morgan, criticising the Dutch tactician and other facets of the club.

The club backed Ten Hag's decision to kick him out of the club, and heading into the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, one of the GOATs was clubless.

In January 2023, Ronaldo made an earth-shaking decision to leave European football and sign for Al-Nassr in the Middle East.
