Manchester United failed to correct one product of merchandise following Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit.
The 37-year-old’s departure was finalised and announced on November 22 after his relationship with the club’s hierarchy had publicly broken down. United and Ronaldo reached an agreement to mutually terminate his contract that was set to expire in the summer of 2023.
Earlier this week, he made headlines yet again by completing a move to Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr, in which he will earn €200 million per season across his two-year deal.
United fail to edit calendar
Fans have noticed an embarrassing blunder by the Red Devils; their 2023 calendar which features pictures of squad players for each month, has Ronaldo front and centre for January.

A reply to the tweet suggests United may have put the five-time Ballon d’Or winner first as the chances of him leaving in the winter transfer window were always highly likely.
I have long held a theory that the player clubs put as January in their calendars is the player most likely to leave. United clearly went a bit early

United Direct has also reduced several Ronaldo-related products, such as keyrings, t-shirts and magnets. So, if you ever wanted a memento to remember his bizarre last season in red, now’s your chance.
