Chelsea are set to reignite their interest in Cristiano Ronaldo if Manchester United decide to sack the 37-year-old, according to reports. The striker has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge on a number of occasions this season following several fallouts at Old Trafford.
Following an explosive interview with Pier Morgan, he faces an increasingly uncertain future at the Red Devils as his relationship with head coach Erik ten Hag hangs by a thread. United were said to be 'furious' after being caught by surprise with Ronaldo's TV interview, and the five-time Ballon d'Or winner claiming that he felt betrayed by the club.
As a result, the Mirror report that United have been seeking legal advice and the Portugal international could be sacked if his behaviour is judged to be 'a serious enough breach of discipline'. He could even be offloaded before the January transfer window opens, leaving the door wide open for Todd Boehly to swoop back in.
