Chelsea will once again be linked with striker Cristiano Ronaldo after Manchester United confirmed his departure with immediate effect.
Uncertainty over his future at Old Trafford had intensified significantly over the previous week following his explosive interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV. The 37-year-old took digs at Erik ten Hag, Ralf Rangnick, the United hierarchy and more after struggling hit the same heights as last season.
Following his release, Chelsea could be an option for Ronaldo, with a deal collapsing between the striker and the Blues in the summer due to Thomas Tuchel standing in the way of a transfer. But, with Graham Potter now in charge, Todd Boehly may get his wish and try again for the 37-year-old in January.
