Chelsea told why to avoid transfer for Manchester United player Cristiano Ronaldo

Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino believes the Londoners should avoid looking to sign Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 37-year-old, who will have aspirations of guiding Portugal to World Cup glory in Qatar in the coming weeks, is expected to leave United next year after falling out-of-favour under manager Erik ten Hag. He has started just twice in the Premier League so far this season and was banished from the squad for Saturday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea for disciplinary reasons.

Ronaldo refused to step off the bench during last Wednesday's 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur and headed back to the dressing room before the match had even finished. He also left Old Trafford before his teammates had returned to the dressing room following the full-time whistle.
