Claim: Cristiano Ronaldo announced quitting the Manchester United Football Club after Elon Musk announced his plans to buy the club.
Fact-check: Edited visuals shared as Cristiano Ronaldo refusing to work along with Elon Musk for the Manchester United club - FACTLY
Verdict: the videos shared in the post are edited from separate interviews of cristiano ronaldo and elon musk. cristiano ronaldo had never announced quitting manchester united. in august 2022, elon musk, in a follow-up tweet that expressed his support to both the left half of the republican party and the right half of the democratic party, wrote, "also, i'm buying manchester united ur welcome." but, later in another tweet, elon musk clarified it as a long-running joke and said that he is not planning to buy manchester united or any other sports team or club. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
