Cristiano Ronaldo rates Luis Enrique so highly that he wanted him to become his own manager at Manchester United.
Luis Enrique, whose coaching feats include winning a spectacular treble with Barcelona in 2015, is now en route to London to hold talks with Chelsea over their vacant managerial position. The Spaniard, 52, will present his vision for the Blues at a meeting in the capital as their search to replace Graham Potter ramps up, having impressed club bosses during initial talks.
Chelsea fans have heard plenty of speculation in the days since Potter's sacking on Sunday night, but as excitement grows surrounding Luis Enrique's potential appointment, the verdict of a certain Ronaldo will only add more positivity.
