Former Chelsea star John Obi Mikel calls Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United exit 'HORRIFIC'

Former Chelsea star John Obi Mikel has weighed in on Cristiano Ronaldo's tumultuous exit from Manchester United.

After enduring a highly-publicised dispute with Erik ten Hag since the Dutchman's arrival at Old Trafford, Ronaldo's relationship with the club deteriorated significantly after he made a number of explosive comments in TalkTV interview earlier this month.

The two warring parties ultimately agreed to mutually terminate Ronaldo's contract, and the 37-year-old is expected to continue his club career after returning from the World Cup.
