Manchester United bid for Cristiano Ronaldo cover as Chelsea offered fresh transfer hope

Manchester United are lining up a former Premier League striker to come in late in this summer's transfer window which could spell bad news for Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 37-year-old cut a frustrated figure from the bench at Old Trafford on Sunday as he had to watch on as the Seagulls ran riot of the Red Devils, netting two goals in the first half courtesy of Pascal Gross. Ronaldo was eventually added into proceedings in the 53rd minute as he replaced Fred. Despite a slight improvement which saw Erik ten Hag's side get one back, Graham Potter's side were great value for their win.

It's a result which has already burst the Ten Hag honeymoon bubble and will only pose more questions surrounding the five-time Ballon d'Or winners immediate future ahead of the September 1 deadline. Something else that will signal worrying signs for the United fans who are in favour of seeing their club icon stay around this season is news that broke during the Super Sunday fixture.
