Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand believes the controversial nature of Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit from Old Trafford will not detract from his legacy at the club.

United issued a statement announcing they had reached a mutual agreement with the player to terminate his contract following the 37-year-old’s explosive interview with Piers Morgan in which he criticised manager Erik ten Hag and executives at the club.
