Cristiano Ronaldo’s lover Georgina Rodriguez has launched a withering attack on Manchester United by admitting that she was relieved when Cristiano Ronaldo left the club
The famous partner of the Portuguese superstar has revealed that she was very happy to leave Manchester at the end of 2022 when Ronaldo had his contract rescinded at Old Trafford.
“I felt very relieved when Cristiano left Manchester for Al Nassr,” she said.
Why Cristiano Ronaldo left Man United
Ronaldo had his contract at Man Utd rescinded in November 2022 in the week leading up to the World Cup. This came about after Ronaldo blasted Man United in an interview with Piers Morgan, accusing the club and key figures of betraying him and trying to force him out.
He slammed manager Erik ten Hag, former boss Ralf Rangnick, owners The Glazers and club legends Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville.
The interview proved to be the final straw for the club after months of indiscipline and controversy surrounding Ronaldo and his behaviour. He eventually joined Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr on a free transfer in January 2023.
Ronaldo has enjoyed a goal-filled spell in Saudi Arabia in the 18 months since arriving. He scored 52 goals in all competitions across 2023, more than anyone in Europe’s big five leagues.
In total, the 39-year-old has scored 68 goals in 75 games. He was Saudi Pro League top scorer for the 2023-24 season. Notably, Ronaldo’s heroics in Saudi Arabia is a product of both on-field and off-field balances, especially in his private life.
Off the field, the Portuguese seems to be having his best life away from the quagmire that engulfed his second spell with Manchester United with Georgina Rodriguez being the protagonist. The Argentine model has held it together for the footballer from joining fans on the stands to support the player to being a mother to Cristiano Ronaldo’s children.
How Ronaldo’s relationship with Georgina Rodriguez nearly undermined Saudi move
Notably, Ronaldo ‘s move to Saudi Arabia was nearly undermined due to the nature of her relationship with Georgina Rodriguez. Since they met in 2016 in Spain, Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez aren’t officially married.
By Saudi law, unmarried partners are not allowed to live together. Consequently, it was thought the move won’t go through but that was not the case. With his star power and status as the best in the sports, Ronaldo’s move to Al-Nassr was sealed with Georgina Rodriguez joining him to the Gulf State.
Ronaldo’s flourishing love life with Georgina Rodriguez is evidenced in the Portuguese’s recent decision to open his Youtube Channel. Georgina Rodriguez has been a major character in his contents.
Is Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez married?
Cristiano Ronaldo recently sparked marriage rumors with Georgina Rodriguez when she addressed her as his ‘wife’ in his YouTube video. The speculations are whether the pair have secretly wedded while in Saudi Arabia as they are yet to make such development on their relationship public
Meanwhile, it hasn’t been all roses for the two love birds. In Ronaldo’s first season with Al-Nassr in 2022, rumors emerged that the relationship has hit the rocks with the pair ready to call it off. Georgina Rodriguez was said to be unable to put up with life in Saudi Arabia and wanted the partner to end his deal with the club.
However, they later came out to debunk the reports and reaffirm their commitment to each other and comfort in Saudi Arabia.
