Piers Morgan has revealed that he's encouraging Cristiano Ronaldo to make a move to the Emirates Stadium amid an increasingly uncertain future at Old Trafford. The Manchester United striker has been heavily liked with a move to London rivals Chelsea this summer but it's said that Thomas Tuchel is not open to the idea.
It's said that Ronaldo's intent to leave the Red Devils is driven by a desire to play in the Champions League this season, with Erik ten Hag set to guide United into the Europa League. And, despite the Gunners also missing out on Champions League qualification, Morgan has persisted in his mission to lure the Portugal international to north London.
Speaking to talkSPORT, the famous Gooner detailed his plan to bring Ronaldo to Arsenal after the pair exchanged texts. Morgan said: "I have had quite a lot of contact in the last week. I certainly think it’d be highly unlikely if Cristiano Ronaldo plays another game for Manchester United.
