Cristiano Ronaldo has one pet peeve with Manchester United despite having two successful stints at the same organisation.

After making his debut in 2003, Ronaldo quickly became a legendary player for the Red Devils, amassing 84 goals for the Premier League team.

He had successful time at Real Madrid and Juventus before making his eagerly anticipated comeback in 2021.

Even though Ronaldo had a great start at Old Trafford, things quickly took a turn as he attacked manager Erik ten Hag in an intense interview with Piers Morgan.

After receiving a sizable punishment from the club, the five-time Ballon d'Or decided to restart his career with Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.

Ronaldo was eager to leave Ten Hag, but that wasn't all.

The 38-year-old reportedly detested the Manchester climate throughout both of his stints with the team, according to The Athletic.

The forward's satisfaction has increased as a result of Riyadh's sunshine, the article continues.

Ronaldo continues to defy age as he has scored 19 goals and provided nine assists in 17 games for Al Nassr this season.

The former Real Madrid player doesn't appear to be planning to retire just yet.
