Step inside the museum today, and you’ll be greeted by familiar scenes of Ronaldo’s triumphs – shiny golden boots, the illustrious Ballon d’Or trophies, and the narrative of a career that redefined the sport. But amongst this landscape, a detail that caught the eye was the jersey adorning Cristiano Ronaldo’s statue is no longer the red of Manchester United. Instead, the yellow and blue of Al-Nassr now stands proudly. This unforeseen alteration sparked a whirlwind of questions among fans. What prompted him to make such a profound change?

Among these artifacts were the memorabilia from his time at the Old Trafford, where he left an indelible mark. However, the recent substitution of the United jersey with the one of Al-Nassr adds an unexpected point of discussion that no one expected. Has the 38-year-old moved on in spirit as well as in geography?
