Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has suggested it was a 'good thing' for Cristiano Ronaldo to force his way out of Manchester United.
Ronaldo left the club on Tuesday after having his contract terminated by mutual consent following a bombshell interview speaking out against the club and manager Erik ten Hag.
The interview has come under severe criticism, but Calderon, who was president of Madrid between 2006 and 2009, referenced Ronaldo's lack of playing time with the Red Devils as he defended the forward's actions.
'Cristiano might be coming to the end of his glorious career, but he remains a wonderful player', Calderon said, via the Mirror.
