Ronaldo, 36, made his name on the world stage in six years at United between 2003 and 2009 before moving to Real Madrid for a then world record transfer fee. He became a legend at Madrid, scoring a remarkable 450 goals in 438 matches in a glittering nine-year spell that included four Champions League triumphs and winning the Ballon d’Or for the world’s best player four times. Ronaldo joined Juventus in 2018 and won two Serie A titles, but his time in Turin has not lived up to expectations.

“Today I depart from an amazing club, the biggest in Italy and surely one of the biggest in all of Europe,” Ronaldo wrote on Instagram. “The ‘tifosi bianconeri’ always respected me and I tried to thank that respect by fighting for them in every game, every season, every competition. “In the end, we can all look back and realise that we achieved great things, not all that we wanted, but still, we wrote a pretty beautiful story together.”
