Football icon Cristiano Ronaldo in a recent interview with Piers Morgan had stated that 'he doesn't chase records, rather the records chase him'. The statement has been proved quite right many times but it was proved true once again when Ronaldo created another record but this time off the field.
The Manchester United star became the first person in the world to have 500 followers on Instagram. The striker reached the milestone on Monday . Lionel Messi is the second celebrity on the list with 375 million followers.
Last year, the Portuguese football superstar reached 500 million followers on social media. Ronaldo became the first celebrity to reach the milestone figure across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Manchester set to terminate Ronaldo's contract
While Ronaldo set a record off the field, he is not having a good time on the field. The 37-year-old is going through a rough patch with his club and his contract is likely to get terminated in coming days after he gave an explosive interview to Piers Morgan.
According to reports, Manchester United are exploring legal options to terminate Ronaldo’s contract, under which, he earns half a million Pounds every week.
