Chelsea and Arsenal told how to beat Man United to £85m Cristiano Ronaldo transfer replacement

Chelsea and Arsenal have been told by football super agent Jorge Mendes how they can beat Manchester United to the signing of Joao Felix in the transfer window. It comes after the Red Devils have been linked with a move for the 23-year-old as a replacement for the outgoing Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo, 37, left the club last week after the cancellation of his contract through mutual termination after a season of difficulties. The Portugal international went on to conduct an interview with Piers Morgan, where he claimed he felt "betrayed" by the club and as though he was being pushed out.

With United in need of a striker for the long-term, reports have suggested that their attention has turned towards Felix as an option. The forward has struggled recently at Atletico Madrid, failing to hut the heights of his big-money move from Benfica just a few years ago.
