Cristiano Ronaldo could reportedly make the move to Manchester United’s top-four rivals Chelsea in January.

The 37-year-old faced disciplinary actions from Erik ten Hag for refusing to feature as a substitute during United’s midweek clash with Tottenham Hotspur, as well as leaving Old Trafford before the full-time whistle without celebrating the triumphant win with his teammates or manager.

Ronaldo was then consequently omitted from United’s match against Chelsea on Saturday, as well as being made to train alone.

As tensions continue to rise between Ronaldo and the Red Devils, speculation continues to grow over whether or not he will be at the club beyond January. The Athletic reported today that should the Portugal captain not be able to accept being benched, Ten Hag will allow him to leave on a free transfer with his contract being mutually terminated.

Chelsea to make shock move for Ronaldo

And according to the Daily Mail, Chelsea could make a shock move to bring the five-time Ballon d’Or winner to Stamford Bridge. After reports of Ronaldo’s desire to leave United broke in the summer, the Blues’ new owner Todd Boehly was keen to secure a deal for the forward, especially as he has a strong relationship with Jorge Mendes, the player’s agent.

However, the then-Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel ended any talks before a deal materialised. With Graham Potter now in charge of the London side, a deal may be more likely to be agreed upon should Potter want the prolific goalscorer.

  1. 1. He won’t get number 7 shirt off Kante so he might not go
    2. It’s Ronaldo I don’t think he would go to Chelsea they have offered for him Ronaldo has said nothing apart from that he wants to leave

  2. So he’s going to leave being a bit part player at United to become a bit part player at Chelsea, right l get it.

  3. Don’t care where he goes he just needs to leave; we are in re-building stage and the manager needs every one of that squad buying into what he is doing as 99% of them seem to be!

    Ronaldo, his circus and childish selfish antics are to the detriment of MANCHESTER United Football Club and the fans; LET HIM GO!
