Ronaldo mocked for moving to Saudi Arabia

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has fired a dig at Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Saudi Arabia outfit Al Nassr after leaving Manchester United.

The Saudi Pro League side confirmed Ronaldo's arrival on Friday evening, with the 37-year-old forward signing a two-and-a-half year deal.

Carragher has been critical of Ronaldo's return to Old Trafford in the last year and couldn't help taking a dig at the five-time Ballon d'Or.

"In some ways, it's a sad end for him. Two of the greatest players in Messi and Ronaldo - Ronaldo has finished his career during an interview with Piers Morgan and Messi has won the World Cup. It's not the best way to go out," Carragher said, as per Sky Sport.

Carragher's fellow pundit Gary Neville did not share the same sentiment and feels sad with how it's playing for his former United teammate.

"I felt as though he would want to stay in Europe, it tells me that the offers are staggering and the clubs didn't come in for him," Neville said.

"There's an element of sadness for me - (the) last of Ronaldo at the top level. That had to come to an end at Old Trafford - it looks like Cristiano is finishing his career in Saudi."
