Chelsea have been put on red alert as Erik ten Hag begins to plan life at Manchester United without Cristiano Ronaldo. The 37-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge on a number of occasions this season as Todd Boehly looks to bolster the club's frontline.
Following an explosive interview with Pier Morgan, the striker now faces an increasingly uncertain future at Old Trafford as his relationship with the club - and fanbase - appears unfixable. The Red Devils are said to be upset after Ronaldo's TV interview caught the club off guard, with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner claiming that he felt betrayed.
With United seeking legal advice regarding Ronaldo's future, Ten Hag has already delved into the market for a new striker to replace the Portugal international. According to the Mirror, the Red Devils have 'accelerated their plans' to welcome a new talisman to the club and Kylian Mbappe has emerged as a shock potential target.
