Jamie Carragher believes Cristiano Ronaldo is not 'worth the hassle' anymore as his performance levels no longer outweigh the stress that comes with managing him.
Ronaldo left Manchester United by mutual consent last month after his tumultuous four-month spell under Erik ten Hag came to a head in an explosive tell-all interview with Piers Morgan.
During that astonishing conversation, the 37-year-old lashed out at Ten Hag, his predecessor Ralf Rangnick, his United team-mates, the Glazers and more to put the final nail in his coffin at Old Trafford.
He then dominated headlines at the World Cup after being dropped from Portugal's starting line-up - and reportedly threatening to leave Qatar when he found out - only for Fernando Santos' decision to be vindicated when Goncalo Ramos, the 21-year-old striker who replaced him, powered home a sensational hat-trick against Switzerland.
