Man United fans will still see Cristiano Ronaldo in 2023 – but there’s a catch


MAN United fans will still see Cristiano Ronaldo in 2023 — in the official club calendar.

The Portugal hitman’s exit last month was too late for him to be replaced as Mr January in the merchandise.

It has left the £10.99 product — “perfect for any Manchester United fan with images of players from the current squad” — badly out of date.

Ronaldo, 37, and United settled on a “mutually agreed” split after he slammed the club in an interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV.

During it he had said he had “no respect” for manager Erik ten Hag.

The club is now trying to cash in on what is left of their Ronaldo stock at knockdown prices.
