Fans convinced Cristiano Ronaldo has taken one final swipe at Man Utd with new luxury watch design
FANS are convinced Cristiano Ronaldo has taken one final swipe at Manchester United.
The 37-year-old has showed off a new £124,000 luxury watch design depicting the famous header he scored AGAINST the Red Devils while playing for Real Madrid.
The timing couldn’t be worse, with United ripping up Ronaldo’s contract as the watch was released.
And all eyes are now aimed at Portugal’s World Cup camp on the eve of their group stage opener against Ghana.
Ronaldo, 37, left club chiefs stunned when he blasted the Red Devils in an explosive interview with Piers Morgan last week.
SunSport revealed United had decided to terminate Ronnie’s deal as a result of his bombshell talks.

On the back, an image can be seen of Ronaldo doing his famous “Siu” goal celebration.
There are no less than four versions of the watch, with the cheapest costing £23,931 and the most expensive selling for £123,927.
But the watch’s face depicts an image sure to infuriate United further.
When Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford with Real Madrid during the Champions League in February 2013, he scored an iconic header which saw him leap over 9.6 feet in the air.
The stunning goal saw Real secure a 1-1 draw, with the Spaniards going on to win the next leg 2-1.
And this is the picture Ronaldo chose to grace the front of his watch, revealing it around the same time United confirmed the veteran had been axed for good.
Supporters quickly took to Twitter following the release of the watch, with many convinced the timing with United’s statement was not a coincidence.
One said: “He really hates Man Utd.”
Another gasped: “Wow for someone who calls themselves a club legend at United.”
