Manchester United, as previously discussed, finished the session in 7th place, which is the lowest for the team to date. They lost 12 games out of 38 and only managed to win 19. It is safe to say they haven’t had the worst season after that till 2021-2022. Where they finished in 6th but only got 58 points, they ended 2013-14 with 64 points to their name. After arguably the worst season ever during 2021-22, Manchester is again in the news for dropping Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo is to leave Manchester United by mutual agreement, with immediate effect.
The club thanks him for his immense contribution across two spells at Old Trafford.#MUFC

Manchester United management was dealing with the aftermath of a very controversial interview Ronaldo did with Piers Morgan. Saying fans on social media were not happy would be a huge understatement. Ronaldo was not in a good place in the team after he refused to play as a substitute and walked out in a match against Tottenham. The move came after a mutual agreement between the team and the star striker. The team announced this via tweet, and many fans are sad, and more are angry.
