He gave an interview to Piers Morgan and chatted a load of shit about his teammates and various United legends.

I mean, are we not going to talk about the sexual assault and rape allegations? Or did that not affect this decision at all?

Those were/are terrible. I think they’ve been dismissed or settled anyway iirc, but that isn’t related to this current development which is due to this interview with Piers Morgan.

He signed for United this time well after those accusations were known.

He literally admitted to raping her. It was dismissed based on a technicality, but Ronaldo admitted she did say no multiple times and he continued with the assault.

It's always suss when someone pays for an NDA. In this case he paid $375,000 for her silence. Looking at wikipedia he also had rape accusations by two women in the UK that couldn't be proven to the point he could be taken to court and received a two-year suspended jail sentence with a fine of €16.8 million for tax evasion.

Interesting how this stuff largely gets brushed under the carpet.
