He left a comment hitting back at the critics, saying: “He wears what he wants. Not what you want.”
How much is Ronaldo’s Nike deal worth?
Ronaldo initally signed a sponsorship deal with Nike back in 2003, the year he first joined United from Sporting CP.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has since become the face of the company and signed a huge long-term deal with the brand in 2016.
The deal was considered a lifetime agreement and worth a reported £780 million ($1 billion) overall.
The 37-year-old wears Nike gear exclusively, sporting their mercurial boots among many other items from the corporation.
