Manchester United great Roy Keane predicted how many goals Cristiano Ronaldo would score for Chelsea

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane said last season that Cristiano Ronaldo would be capable of scoring 50 goals for Chelsea.

Ronaldo, as reported by the Manchester Evening News , wants to leave Old Trafford after becoming frustrated at the club's lack of transfer activity this summer. Ronaldo is also said to be "upset" about a 25 per cent reduction on players' salaries after failing to qualify for the Champions League for the forthcoming season. A lack of Champions League football is also said to be a reason behind his wishes to leave.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner did not report for training on Monday and Tuesday, with "family reasons" being cited for his absence. He returned to United almost a year ago from Juventus with the ambition of bringing silverware back to Old Trafford, but the club experienced its worst season in years, despite Ronaldo helping himself to 24 goals.
