Chelsea and Arsenal have been warned against the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo amid risk of falling 'victim' to the former Manchester United star's antics. The 37-year-old striker is now a free agent after the Red Devils confirmed on Tuesday evening that he would leave the club with immediate effect.
He had already been heavily linked with an exit from Old Trafford on a number of occasions this season but after an explosive TV interview with Piers Morgan his relationship with head coach Erik ten Hag - and the club's fanbase - appeared beyond repair. United were said to be 'furious' after being caught by surprise by Ronaldo's attack of the club, with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner claiming that he felt betrayed.
United sought legal advice and the Portugal international was subsequently allowed to leave the club. With Ronaldo on the market and readily available to sign, a handful of the world's richest clubs have been encouraged to make an approach - two of which being Chelsea and Arsenal.
