Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has made a Europa League joke against the Red Devils when analysing Cristiano Ronaldo's will to leave the club amid Chelsea's interest.
The Man United talisman is currently away from the pre-season spotlight as he had been granted to take some more time off football due to family reasons. Worryingly, though, his return to pre-season remains unknown with the Australia tour fast approaching.
Having already been spotted in Lisbon, speculation has intensified regarding the future of the 37-year-old, who has reportedly told new manager Erik ten Hag about his desire to leave in order to make it 20 seasons in a row playing Champions League football. With not many options currently out there, Chelsea's interest is seemingly the most advanced out of anyone currently. The latest rumours doing the rounds suggest that a £14million bid is being prepared for a player who United themselves will open negotiations for if a £13m opening offer came in.
