Following Chelsea's hurried sale in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine which forced Roman Ambramovic to sell the club, it has been widely reported&nbsp;that two of the most successful Premier League clubs such as Liverpool and Manchester United are also up for a sale.&nbsp;

Ever since reports emerged that both Man United and the Liverpool FC owners are willing to sell the club, Indian industrialist Mukesh Ambani has emerged as a strong contender to buy&nbsp;one of the two clubs. However, it is believed that Ambani is eyeing to buy the 13-time English champion Arsenal and not Man United or Liverpool.&nbsp;

At present, Arsenal's majority stakes are with the American-based Kroenke family (Kroenke Sports &amp; Entertainment company). The&nbsp;report has further revealed&nbsp;that Ambani's son Akash is a big fan of the current Premier League table toppers Arsenal and, hence, the industrialist might try really hard&nbsp;to take over the ownership.

Indian industralist Mukesh Ambani eyeing to buy THIS big Premier League club - Reports

It was a controversial end to Cristiano Ronaldo's second stint at Manchester United. After his explosive claims in a recent interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan, where he slammed the Old Trafford club owners and came hard on team manager Erik Ten Hag, the 37-year-old Portugal star player was shown the door with his contract still not getting over. Ronaldo spoke at length on his equation with the Dutch manager and how he felt 'betrayed' by the treatment he received from the senior club executives.&nbsp;

As the situation became out of control, Ronaldo departed from the club where he had a memorable first stint, under Sir Alex Ferguson. Following his departure, Erik Ten Hag has finally opened up on his explosive interview. In an interview to MUTV, he said, "He’s gone and it’s the past. We are now looking forward and we’re looking to the future. When you change things in an organisation and change the way of playing, that takes time. In top-level football, you never get time. Opponents they want to kill you and that happened. We had to quickly adapt and I think our squad did terrific. The mentality changed and I think our way of playing changed during the season, the style, and I think we are growing and we have to keep the process going.," he added.

During his interview with Morgan, Ronaldo revealed he doesn't have any respect for Erik, under whom he hardly saw his name in the starting XI in the ongoing season and didn't make much impact for the Red Devils. He had stated, "I don't have respect for him [Ten Hag] because he doesn't show respect for me. If you don't have respect for me, I'm never gonna have respect for you. Not only the manager, but the other two or three guys who are around the club [at the senior executive level]. I felt betrayed. I don't care, people should listen to the truth. Yes, I felt betrayed. I feel that some people didn't want me here, not only this year but last season too."

Currently, Ronaldo is still on the lookout for a new club after leaving Man United. There were reports of him joining the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr but he recently denied all such claims during Portugal's FIFA World Cup Ronud of 16 clash versus Switzerland.

Ronaldo returned to Man United last year after he was almost confirmed to join Chelsea. Nonetheless, he left Juventus and rejoined the club at Old Trafford, where he had gained immense success in his maiden stint. During the last EPL season, he shined and scored 24 goals from 38 games but failed to guide the team to any trophy. In addition, they failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. After Man United not qualifying for the Champions League, many reports suggested that Ronaldo is looking for a switch, however, he found no takers in the transfer window. He remained part of the Erik Ten Hag-led Man United in the ongoing EPL season but failed to make a mark, with him not even being a regular in the starting line-up.&nbsp;

Following Ronaldo's explosive revelations in his interview with Morgan, where he spoke about his strained relations with the club owners and manager Erik, his fallout became a big talking point before the Portugese captain's exit. Ronaldo-starrer Portugal are currently involved in the Qatar World Cup where they open their campaign on November 24, versus Ghana.

'That will never change' - Cristiano Ronaldo shares heartfelt note after Manchester United exit

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag said he hoped "magnificent" goalkeeper&nbsp;David&nbsp;de&nbsp;Gea&nbsp;would stay beyond this season at the club after seeing the Spaniard play a starring role in his side's 1-0 win over West Ham United on Sunday. De&nbsp;Gea&nbsp;produced three stunning saves in the second half to help United stretch their unbeaten run to eight in all competitions and earn a victory that moved them up to fifth in the Premier League.

However, widespread reports in the British media have said that United are not certain to extend the Spanish keeper's contract, which expires at the end of the campaign. "This issue about negotiating (contracts), we said first we are focusing on the games," Ten Hag said. "When we come to an end with this block, we have the World Cup and then we have to think about them." In the background, we have our strategies for how to&nbsp;deal with it. It is clear already and I have already emphasised it several times, I am really happy with&nbsp;David. He is a great goalkeeper. "He is only 31. He is fit. He can progress even more. He was already impressively good for Man United and I think he will do that in the future as well."

Marcus Rashford headed the winner in the first half at Old Trafford on Sunday, continuing his return to form this term as he passed 100 goals for his club in all competitions. "When you have scored 100 goals before you turn 25 you are already there," Ten Hag added. "But I think he won't be satisfied just with that. "It is about how many trophies you win with your club. I think he can&nbsp;develop his game even more. His heading has to improve and he worked on it, and you can see what is happening. "He is much more consistent and reliable. I am really happy with his progress. He is already a great player, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. He will have a fantastic career I am sure."

Erik Ten Hag hopes 'magnificent' De Gea stays on at Man United as Spaniard stars in win over West Ham

Cristiano Ronaldo's fractious second spell at Manchester United "has to end" as soon as possible, according to the club's former defender Gary Neville. The Portuguese forward, who recently scored his 700th career goal, has been largely consigned to the bench under new manager Erik ten Hag this season.

He was left out of the squad for Saturday's draw at Chelsea in the Premier League after his petulant reaction to being an unused substitute in midweek against Tottenham Hotspur. With United showing encouraging signs of progress under Ten Hag, Neville believes the Ronaldo situation must be resolved.

"Cristiano Ronaldo is going to have to go somewhere else and play every week because he can't accept being on the bench," Neville told Sky Sports. "That's fine, but end it this week or create a truce to get to the World Cup and then end it. "It has to end."

Ronaldo walked down the tunnel minutes before the end of United's 2-0 win over Tottenham and left the ground, conduct Neville claims was unacceptable. "That's the second time Cristiano Ronaldo has left Old Trafford and got in his car before his team have got back into the changing room," Neville said. "I have to say, as someone in the dressing room, it's something that's unacceptable. When you look at whether Cristiano should be selected, Manchester United are better without him -- and Erik ten Hag knows that.

"The only thing that Cristiano and the club can do is get together in the next week and end the relationship." Another former United defender, Jaap Stam, said he understood Ronaldo's frustration but said the 37-year-old is in danger of undermining his legacy. "It's not fair to him to be remembered for this situation. He's been world class, I still think he is world class, and you don't want to go into the history books walking off the pitch because you're not happy not playing," Stam said.

Man United must end relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, insists club's former defender Gary Neville

Liverpool maintained their new-found momentum as Darwin Nunez scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory over West Ham&nbsp;United&nbsp;in the Premier League, but high-flying Tottenham Hotspur suffered a reality check with a 2-0 loss at&nbsp;Manchester&nbsp;United&nbsp;on Wednesday. Chelsea's run of four successive league wins came to an end as they were held to a 0-0 draw at Brentford. Impressive Newcastle&nbsp;United&nbsp;bolstered their place in the top-six with a 1-0 victory at home to struggling Everton.

Southampton eased some pressure on manager Ralph Hasenhuttl with a 1-0 win against south coast rivals Bournemouth to climb out of the relegation zone. Liverpool's 1-0 win over champions&nbsp;Manchester&nbsp;City at the weekend looked like lift-off for their stuttering season but they were made to work extra hard by West Ham. In the end they were thankful for summer signing Nunez's first Anfield goal for the club, a superb downward header in the 22nd minute from a cross by Kostas Tsimikas.

Nunez also rattled the post with a ferocious shot but West Ham could easily have taken a point. Jarrod Bowen's penalty was saved by Alisson just before halftime while Tomas Soucek and Said Benrahma both had great opportunities for the visitors late on. Liverpool moved up to seventh with 16 points from 10 games, two points behind Newcastle and three behind&nbsp;Manchester&nbsp;United.

"I don't stand here thinking it should be an easy game for us, but we got the result and I think we deserved the result," Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp, who was red-carded during the win over City, said. "Luck hasn't always been on our side but maybe today we had it, or Ali, however you want to look at it. "It is three points more, massive."

UNITED&nbsp;TAKING SHAPE

After a difficult start Man Utd are slowly taking shape under Dutch manager Erik ten Hag and they added Tottenham to their wins already against Liverpool and leaders Arsenal. But for a clutch of superb saves by keeper Hugo Lloris,&nbsp;United&nbsp;would have won by more as Tottenham squandered the chance to move into second place with a dismal display. United&nbsp;rained in 18 shots on the Spurs goal in the first half without scoring, but eventually went in front when Fred's side-footed shot deflected past Lloris in the 47th minute.

The Reds kept up the pressure and deservedly put the game to bed in the 69th minute when Bruno Fernandes powered a strike into the net after another excellent flowing move. Newcastle, who have lost only once all season and are beginning to look like contenders for a European place, edged out Everton with a goal by Miguel Almiron.

The Paraguay international curled a shot from the edge of the box into the top corner just past the half-hour mark to condemn Everton to a third consecutive defeat. Chelsea kept a fifth clean sheet in succession in all competitions but Graham Potter's side could find no way past Brentford who enjoyed the better of the chances in the west London derby. They remain fourth in the standings on 20 points, three behind Tottenham with a game in hand, but already starting to drift off the pace set at the top and facing what is already looking like a tense battle for a Champions League spot.

"They had some chances, we had some, we finished the game stronger, but it was a hard-earned point against a team who make it difficult for you," Potter, still unbeaten after replacing Thomas Tuchel in early September, said. Che Adams's first-half header earned Southampton victory at Bournemouth -- their first win in six games moving them up to 14th place with 11 points.

Liverpool also expressed their disappointment at chanting and graffiti by City fans on Sunday referencing the Heysel and Hillsborough stadium tragedies in the 1980s. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was charged with improper behaviour on Tuesday over his dismissal by referee Anthony Taylor towards the end of the fixture for taking protests against the match officials too far. He could face a touchline ban if found guilty.

Premier League: Police investigate alleged criminal damage to Man City bus after 1-0 loss to Liverpool

A lot of action and drama is taking place in the ongoing English Premier League (EPL) 2022-23 edition. Ahead of the much-awaited Chelsea-Manchester United clash, set to be held on October 22, a controversy has emerged, off the field, with the Old Trafford club's&nbsp;fans not pleased at all.

The&nbsp;Manchester United Supporters Trust have&nbsp;threatened legal proceedings against Hammersmith and Fulham Council after&nbsp;a&nbsp;cut to the ticket allocation for Erik Ten Hag-led club's&nbsp;visit to Chelsea, to be held later this month.

Manchester United Supporters' Trust lawyers have, thus, taken matters into their own hands and recently&nbsp;sent a letter to Hammersmith and Fulham Council in a bid to place a request to&nbsp;issue a new safety certificate to allow&nbsp;fans to attend the high-voltage clash, at the Stamford Bridge stadium in Fulham.

"United fans, and football supporters in general, have had their fill of being on the receiving end of unfair and irrational decisions by councils and the police who seem to consider us to be a public order problem rather than ordinary people freely enjoying a day out,” the fan group -- addressed as MUST --&nbsp;revealed on Thursday (October 13).

"Tickets had been sold for this game and fans are being treated like second-class citizens. Our first priority in policing football â€” and the increasing crime and disorder associated with it â€” is the safety of fans and those who live and work in the local community,” police stated.&nbsp; “This can require significant resources and we have to balance this commitment against our many other policing responsibilities across London.

"For this reason, the agreement in place between the Met and London clubs is that fixtures assessed as high risk should start before 16:45 at weekends to help keep people safe.” United had written&nbsp;to their ardent supporters last week.

"While we are very disappointed by this outcome and believe it is unjustified, it is clear it is a final decision. Over recent years, we have made significant progress in protecting away ticket allocations for our fans and we can assure you that we will continue to fight for this in future," the club further informed.

In the legal letter to the council, the fans have argued saying "there is no rational reason to reduce the ticket allocation for away fans at a 5:30 p.m. kick-off when it is accepted that there would be a full ticket allocation at a fixture beginning no later than 4:45 p.m."

Talking about the EPL standings, Chelsea are placed a spot above Man United. After eight games, they have five wins and two losses -- with 16 points -- whereas the Cristiano Ronaldo-starrer club occupies the fifth position with five wins and three defeats to have 15 points.&nbsp;

Before Man United's Chelsea visit, Red Devils' fans threaten legal action over reduced ticket allocation

On Sunday (October 09), Manchester United locked horns with Everton in an away Premier League clash for the Erik Ten Hag-led Red Devils. Despite conceding a lead, with Alex Iwobi scoring in the fifth minute, United came from behind to register a 2-1 win, courtesy of strikes from Antony and Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo, who has not been in the starting XI more often than not in the ongoing EPL season, replaced Anthony Martial midway in the first half and netted the decisive second goal; 700th strike of his illustrious career.

After adding another feather to his illustrious hat, Ronaldo shared a heartfelt note on his official Twitter account. Here's what he wrote:

"700 club goals. What a beautiful number we’ve achieved together! Thank you to all my teammates, coaches, clubs, family &amp; friends and of course my fans. United we continue!," wrote Ronaldo after completing the massive feat.

Manchester United announced Thursday a net loss of £115.5 million ($130.4 million, 132.2 million euros) for the 2021/22 season even though revenues at the club rose by 18 percent to £583 million. Figures released incorporating the final quarter of the 20-time English champions' financial year, which ended in June, showed losses rose by £23m on the previous year.

The club's net debt also increased from £419.5 million in 2021 to £514.9 million this year, an increase of more than 22 percent. United attributed that rise mainly to unrealised foreign exchange losses on the retranslation of borrowings in US dollars.&nbsp;"Our financial results for fiscal 2022 reflect a recovery from the pandemic, a full return of fans and new commercial partnerships offset by increased investment in the playing squad," said chief financial officer Cliff Baty. "Our results have been adversely affected by the absence of a summer tour in July 2021, material exceptional and increased utility costs, and the impact of the weakening of sterling on our non-cash finance costs."

Failure to qualify for the Champions League will also hurt United's future finances.

After a loss to&nbsp;Dinamo Zagreb, Thomas Tuchel was sacked as the Chelsea manager with immediate effect. His sacking came as a shocker to many and the German has now finally reacted to his exit. Being replaced by&nbsp;Graham Potter, the 49-year-old has revealed that the recent turn of events has definitely left him devastated but shared some of his high points serving as Chelsea's manager.

"This is one of the most difficult statements I have ever had to write, and it is one which I hoped I would not need to do for many years. I am devastated that my time at Chelsea has come to an end," Tuchel wrote on Twitter on Sunday (September 11).&nbsp; "This is a club where I felt at home, both professionally and personally. The pride and joy I felt at helping the team to win the Champions League and the Club World Cup will stay with me forever," he added.

Tuchel further asserted, "I am honoured to have been a part of this club’s history and the memories of the last 19 months will always have a special place in my heart," said Tuchel.

Under Tuchel, Chelsea won the&nbsp;Champions League title in 2021 after joining The Blues early in the same year, in January. Thus, his impact was felt immediately, however, the club's poor start to new campaign turned things upside down for Tuchel. A defeat at the hands of&nbsp;Dinamo Zagreb on September 6, by a 1-0 margin, led to his ouster. He has been replaced by Graham Potter.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Before joining The Blues, Potter also looked back at his time Brighton's manager and penned a heartfelt note for the club fans. He wrote,&nbsp;”For some I recognise that the change that comes so suddenly in football can be hard to accept. I may not be able to persuade you all to forgive my departure but I would at least like to take the chance to say thank you. I hope that you will understand that at this stage of my career, I felt I had to grasp a new opportunity,” wrote the former Brighton manager in a heartfelt letter.&nbsp;

"I did not know at the time that it would be the end, but looking back now we played so well. There was so much positivity around the club. The last few days have been an unexpected whirlwind. Leaving the training ground for the last time was a poignant moment. To my successor, whoever that may be, I would say, congratulations. You'll be working for a great club with a fantastic squad, supported by a great chairman and board,” wrote Potter.

'Devastated that my time at Chelsea has come to an end'- Thomas Tuchel reacts after being sacked

Erling Haaland hit a second successive hat-trick as&nbsp;Manchester&nbsp;City&nbsp;crushed Nottingham Forest 6-0, while leaders Arsenal extended their perfect start to the Premier League season with a 2-1 win against Aston Villa on Wednesday. City&nbsp;and Arsenal have set the early pace, but Liverpool are gathering momentum after snatching a last-gasp 2-1 victory against Newcastle. Haaland has made a blistering start since his £50 million ($58 million) move from Borussia Dortmund in the close-season and the Norway striker's latest goal spree set a Premier League record.

Haaland's tally of nine goals after his first five appearances is a new high in the Premier League era, beating the previous mark of eight set by&nbsp;City&nbsp;great Sergio Aguero and&nbsp;Micky Quinn. Inspired by Haaland's first-half treble, Pep Guardiola's unbeaten side ran riot at the Etihad Stadium, reaching 19 goals from just five games.

"I know he's happy scoring goals, but I think what he wants is to win. The records are OK, but I'm pretty sure he would not like it if we did not win," Guardiola said of Haaland. "He is a special talent. He smells the box like no one else, his first touch of the game is a goal. That's Erling."

City&nbsp;went ahead in the 12th minute when Phil Foden's cross reached Haaland, who poked home from close range. Haaland, whose father Alfie played for Forest between 1993 and 1997, struck again from close range in the 23rd minute and sealed his treble eight minutes later with a header from virtually on the goal-line.

Even with Kevin De Bruyne starting on the bench, the champions were unstoppable and Joao Cancelo curled into the top corner from 20 yards in the 50th minute. Argentine forward Julian Alvarez celebrated his first Premier League start following his move from River Plate with a brace to seal&nbsp;City's biggest win since a 7-0 rout of Leeds in December.

<h2>- Perfect Arsenal -</h2>

City&nbsp;are two points behind Arsenal after Mikel Arteta's side once again showed a tenacity so often missing from Gunners teams in recent seasons. Arsenal struck in the 30th minute thanks to a gift from their former keeper Emiliano Martinez, who pushed a tame Gabriel Martinelli cross straight to Gabriel Jesus for a simple finish.

Second-bottom Villa were level when Douglas Luiz's corner flew straight past Arsenal keeper Aaron Ramsdale in the 74th minute despite the hosts' appeal for a foul. But Arsenal, who came from behind to beat Fulham on Saturday, responded impressively as Martinelli restored their lead three minutes later from Bukayo Saka's cross.

"The first half was probably one of the best we have played, then we conceded a goal and it's game on. But the team again reacted incredibly well," Arteta said. Villa boss Steven Gerrard, jeered off after losing at home to West Ham on Sunday, will come under renewed pressure following his side's fourth defeat in five games this season.

Asked if he worried about his future, Gerrard said: "Of course I do. I am really honest and critical of myself." At Anfield, Liverpool left it late to secure a second win this season as Fabio Carvalho's 98th-minute goal saw off Newcastle. Away striker Alexander Isak rocked Liverpool in the 38th minute of his debut following his £60 million move from Real Sociedad, netting with a composed finish from Sean Longstaff's pass. But, building on the momentum from Saturday's 9-0 rout of Bournemouth -- which equalled the record for the Premier League's biggest win -- Liverpool equalised when Roberto Firmino slotted in Mohamed Salah's 61st-minute pass.

And, well past the original five minutes of stoppage time, Carvalho -- a day after his 20th birthday -- fired home to spark wild celebrations. "The perfect moment to win because it was a difficult game. What a wonderful goal from the birthday kid. It's massive. We will remember it for years," Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said.

Erling Halaand hits second successive hat-trick as Man City attain big win, Arsenal beat Aston Villa 2-1

Thomas Tuchel urged "soft"&nbsp;Chelsea&nbsp;to toughen up after a shock 2-1 defeat against Southampton plunged his spluttering team into Premier League turmoil on Tuesday. Tuchel's side blew the lead at St Mary's after Raheem Sterling put them ahead midway through the first half. England forward Sterling bagged his third goal in two games with a close-range strike in the 23rd minute.

But&nbsp;Chelsea&nbsp;had squandered a host of chances before Sterling's opener and, not for the first time in Tuchel's reign, their profligate finishing came back to haunt them. Romeo Lavia equalized in the 28th minute with his first goal for Southampton, curling home from the edge of the area after&nbsp;Chelsea&nbsp;failed to clear a corner.

Adam Armstrong put Southampton ahead on the stroke of half-time as he took Romain Perraud's pass and drilled a deflected shot past&nbsp;Chelsea&nbsp;keeper Edouard Mendy. Chelsea, beaten 3-0 at Leeds in their previous away fixture, were unable to muster a response as they slipped to a second defeat from their last three games.

"Soft, soft, soft defending. There is no need to give shots away. Just toughen up as a team and show a different mentality," Tuchel said.

With just two wins from their first five matches, the Blues are already five points behind leaders Arsenal, who play their game in hand against Aston Villa on Wednesday.

While it is too early to write them out of the title race, Tuchel will be concerned by his team's latest sloppy display -- with key mistakes at both ends of the pitch -- having already criticised them publicly after the Leeds loss.

"It is too easy to put us off balance, to beat us, to confuse us. It is too easy. It happened against Leeds. We need to understand why and find solutions," Tuchel said. "We lose concentration, we lose our plan and lose consistency. I don't understand why we have so many injuries. "In a match where you are in the lead there is no need to give away half-chances. To have no answers in the second half was disappointing."

Everton's wait for a first win this season goes on after Luis Sinisterra's first league goal for Leeds earned a 1-1 draw at Elland Road. Frank Lampard's team went ahead when Alex Iwobi's incisive pass was flicked through the legs of Diego Llorente by Anthony Gordon, whose clinical finish capped a superb move in the 17th minute.

But Colombia winger Sinisterra marked his first start for Jesse Marsch's men in memorable fashion with a composed finish from Brenden Aaronson's pass in the 55th minute. Fulham ended Brighton's unbeaten start to the season with a 2-1 win at Craven Cottage that lifted them to sixth place.

Fourth-placed Brighton had won three of their first four games, but Marco Silva's promoted side broke the deadlock in the 48th minute through Aleksandar Mitrovic's fifth goal this season. Neeskens Kebano provided the pass and Serbia striker Mitrovic tapped in at the far post for his 100th league goal for the Cottagers.

Yoane Wissa's late leveller rescued Brentford in their 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace. Wilfried Zaha showed why Arsenal and&nbsp;Chelsea&nbsp;have been linked with him as the Ivory Coast forward gave Palace the lead with a brilliant strike from the edge of the area after 59 minutes. But Wissa was left unmarked to equalise with a close-range header in the 88th minute.

Thomas Tuchel urged "soft" Chelsea to toughen up after a shock 2-1 defeat against Southampton plunged his spluttering team into Premier League turmoil on Tuesday. Tuchel's side blew the lead at St Mary's after Raheem Sterling put them ahead midway through the first half. England forward Sterling bagged his third goal in two games with a close-range strike in the 23rd minute. But Chelsea had squandered a host of chances before Sterling's opener and, not for the first time in Tuchel's reign, their profligate finishing came back to haunt them. Romeo Lavia equalized in the 28th minute with his first goal for Southampton, curling home from the edge of the area after Chelsea failed to clear a corner. Adam Armstrong put Southampton ahead on the stroke of half-time as he took Romain Perraud's pass and drilled a deflected shot past Chelsea keeper Edouard Mendy. Chelsea, beaten 3-0 at Leeds in their previous away fixture, were unable to muster a response as they slipped to a second defeat from their last three games. "Soft, soft, soft defending. There is no need to give shots away. Just toughen up as a team and show a different mentality," Tuchel said. With just two wins from their first five matches, the Blues are already five points behind leaders Arsenal, who play their game in hand against Aston Villa on Wednesday. Despite a significant close-season spending spree, which is set to continue with several more signings mooted before Thursday's transfer deadline, Chelsea are struggling to find any sustained momentum at present.

Thomas Tuchel calls 'soft' Chelsea to toughen up after shock defeat vs Southampton

The&nbsp;Cristiano Ronaldo transfer saga has remained in the headlines for a long period. While Ronaldo remains desperate to leave Manchester United, his agent Jorge Mendes is working hard to fulfill his client's demand of finding him a new and suitable club. As per reports, the Portuguese striker wants to make a move as he is eager to play the Champions League (CL) and, thus, remains adamant about exiting the club at Old Trafford.&nbsp;

Mendes has reportedly been in talks with many top clubs such as Chelsea, PSG, Bayern Munich, Athletico Madrid, etc. for Ronaldo's transfer. However, nothing emerged out of these discussions. As per a report, he has once again reopened talks with Chelsea after they failed to acquire the services of Barcelona striker&nbsp;Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.&nbsp;Pierre-Emerick reportedly isn't keen on signing a one-year contract being offered by the Blues and wants a longer deal. Hence, the Man United striker Ronaldo has once again come into the picture for the Thomas Tuchel-led club, who are in need of an aggressive striker post the departure of&nbsp;Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner.

Earlier, Mendes had first held talks with Chelsea about signing Ronaldo. Back then, Tuchel had his apprehensions and decided against it after unimpressive feedback about the superstar striker from Erik Ten Hag, manager at Old Trafford. Despite Chelsea owner&nbsp;Todd Boehly reportedly being interested in acquiring the Portugal captain's services, the deal went down the drain. Nonetheless, it seems with Aubameyang's deal getting stalled, Ronaldo has a chance to make a switch and enter Chelsea.

Recently, Erik Ten Hag was asked about Ronaldo's future at Man United. In this regard, the Dutchman commented on the 5-time Ballon d'Or winner, "I can’t say that. We plan with him. We stick to the plan. We want him to stay. That is what I want."

So far, Ronaldo has failed to create any impact for the Red Devils in the ongoing EPL 2022/23 edition, where he has only made limited appearances on the field. After four games, United have won and lost two each.&nbsp;

Ronaldo's agent reopens talks with Chelsea after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang turns down deal: Report

Cristiano Ronaldo made heads turn when he gatecrashed Sky Sports' pre-match show ahead of Manchester United's home encounter versus Liverpool in the ongoing English Premier League (EPL) 2022/23 season on Monday (August 22), at Old Trafford.

Ronaldo, who was not named in the starting XI for the Red Devils, came over to the touchline to interact with Sky Sports' star-studded team. While the Portuguese captain&nbsp;shook hands with former United skipper Gary Neville, he completely blanked ex-Liverpool and England defender Jamie Carragher. It is to be noted that the former English player has been vocal in criticising Ronaldo over his recent actions at Man United. Thus, the superstar striker brutually ignored him and left after having a few words with Roy Keane. Carragher, on the other hand, was completely taken aback by Ronaldo's behaviour.

Thus, former Liverpool defender Jose&nbsp;Enrique has lashed out at the 37-year-old Ronaldo's actions.&nbsp;“Keane and Gary(Neville) they have been killing him on Sky Sports as well so I’m sure is not because of that. Someone that played football for that long and made so many appearances for Liverpool at least you say hi out of respect. Another thing why I will never like Cristiano Ronaldo and when football finish let’s see who he will have around being like this,” the former Liverpool wrote on Twitter.

'Will never...': Former Liverpool star lashes out at Cristiano Ronaldo for brutally ignoring Jamie Carragher

Cristiano Ronaldo isn't having the best of time of late. While reports have been floating around that the superstar striker isn't very keen to continue at Manchester United, he currently has no other option but to stay put while his agent Jorge Mendes is continuously searching for a new club. Amid all this, the 37-year-old&nbsp;Portuguese star is having a tough time at the Erik Ten Hag-led Man United camp in the ongoing English Premier League (EPL) 2022/23 season.&nbsp;

Ronaldo has so far not been named in the starting XI in any of the three games for Man United&nbsp;in EPL 2022/23. He has only&nbsp;made brief appearances in all three encounters -- versus Brighton, Brentford, and Liverpool respectively. While United finally got off the mark in the new season -- following disastrous defeats in their opening two clashes -- with a 2-1 win over Liverpool&nbsp;at Old Trafford on August 23, Ronaldo once again appeared in the second half (in the 86th minute) and failed to create any impact. No one knows what the future holds for Ronaldo at Man United, however, many feel he isn't fitting in&nbsp;Erik Ten Hag's scheme of things.&nbsp;

When asked about the same, while speaking to the press after United's stunning 2-1 win over Liverpool, the Dutchman made an interesting reply.&nbsp; "I think he can. In his whole career, he, under several managers, he did in several styles and systems," Ten Hag said.

The Dutch tactician further asserted on big names such as Ronaldo, captain Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Fred starting on the bench versus Liverpool. In this regard, he said,&nbsp;"He always performed, so, why he can't do this? For me, his age is not an issue. If you are young, you are good enough, and when you are old and you still deliver the performance, you are also good enough. We have a squad and then we have a way of play, a style, but also, a game-plan, and you look what is the best approach to the game, and that is what we did today. We do it every game, so, today we picked those players but can be Saturday (at Southampton), and it can be different."

"We need a squad, because we have many games to cover, and so, if we make a team out of the squad and we stick together as a squad then we can achieve a lot. I'm convinced about that."

After their first-ever win over Liverpool since 2018, Man United will now lock horns with Southampton on Saturday (August 27), which will be an away clash.

Will Ronaldo adapt to Erik Ten Hag's new approach at Man United? Dutchman gives his take after Liverpool win

On August 19 2022, Real Madrid and Manchester United&nbsp;confirmed that they have reached an agreement for midfielder&nbsp;Casemiro's move to the Old Trafford club. With this, it is certainly the end of a magnificent run for&nbsp;Casemiro in Real Madrid camp, whose tenure ends with&nbsp;five UEFA Champions Leagues, three FIFA Club World Cups and three La Liga titles with the premier club.

As a new and exciting journey awaits him in the Erik Ten Hag-led Manchester United camp, the 30-year-old Brazilian Casemiro bid an emotional farewell to his club.&nbsp;Speaking to the media prior to his move to the Red Devils camp, who is struggling in the ongoing 2022/23 EPL season,&nbsp;as quoted by Reuters, the Brazilian mentioned that the greatest honour for him was to&nbsp;work for Los Blancos every day.

"When I got here, my wife and I knew nobody. We were alone and we built our life story here in this city together. I arrived at the reserve team and I had to fight my way to the first team. I learned the values of this club, while working at their academy, to be the purest part of football. I have won a lot here but I've always felt that the greatest honour was to come here to work everyday," Casemiro stated as broke down during his farewell speech.

On joining the Cristiano Ronaldo-starrer Man United, Casemiro pointed out, "I want to face new challenges, know a different league, a different country, different culture. Over there I didn’t win nothing, so I have everything still in front of me. It was the hardest decision of my life but I’m excited to what’s ahead of me."

Casemiro also answered the burning question with regard to Ronaldo. The Portuguese captain's future at Man United remains a mystery. While the superstar striker is reportedly desperate to part ways with the Old Trafford club, he is currently stuck there as his agent continues to find a suitable club for him.&nbsp;

The Brazilian, thus, sent a message to Ronaldo over his wish to leave Man United and said, "I haven’t spoken with Cristiano Ronaldo yet, but I’m excited to play with him again. I’m so keen to get started, with the biggest club in England. If it was up to me, I’d play for them already tonight against Liverpool. But, I know I haven’t won anything there yet."

'Of 100 news I made...': Cristiano Ronaldo breaks silence over his situation at Man United, to expose 'lies'

Manchester United continue their torrid run. After finishing sixth in the last Premier League season, and missing out on 2022/23 Champions League (CL) football, the Red Devils have got off to a miserable start in the new EPL season, losing to&nbsp;Brighton (2-1) and being thrashed by Brentford (4-0).&nbsp;

While there is a lack of activity on the transfer window and fans' frustrations continue to rise further with each loss, the constant chatter regarding Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Old Trafford is also not helping the team management. As per various reports, the Portuguese captain is desperate to leave the club. However, a report suggests that the Old Trafford club is not willing to sell Ronaldo despite the management's concerns over his negative influence on others.&nbsp;

There are even reports suggesting that Ronaldo&nbsp;is sometimes eating alone in the cafeteria. Despite all this,&nbsp;the club owners&nbsp;remain adamant that the player will not be sold. Whatever the truth behind all such reports, one thing is certain that Man United is struggling both on and off the field at the moment.

Man United not keen to sell Ronaldo despite management's concerns over his 'negative influence': Report

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to generate headlines. The superstar footballer has reportedly been unhappy at Manchester United for quite some time and wants to end his second innings at the Red Devils&nbsp;to join some other club that plays in the Champions League. Man United had ended at the sixth spot in the last EPL season and, thus, Ronaldo is missing 2022/23 Champions League football.

Thus, many reports have stated that his agent Jorge Mendes is on his toes to find a new and suitable club for Ronaldo. Nonetheless, he is struggling at present with big clubs such as Bayern Munich, PSG, Chelsea, etc. have said a 'No' to roping in the Portuguese captain. Hence, Ronaldo has no other option but to play the waiting game at the moment and remain firm at Man United.

There have been discussions between Ronaldo and United manager Erik ten Hag but reports suggest that the former is still keen to part ways with the club. In United's 2022/23 EPL season opener, Ronaldo came from the bench against Brighton but couldn't prevent a 1-2 defeat for his side. Amid all this, United legend Wayne Rooney is of the opinion that the club should let go of Ronaldo.

"I think United should let Cristiano Ronaldo go,” the former Manchester United striker told&nbsp;The Times.&nbsp;

"It's not that Ronaldo can't play in a Ten Hag team. He can play in any team. Ronny will always score you goals. But my personal view is that United aren't ready to challenge for the title now, so the aim has to be to build a team that can win the league in the next three to four years, and you have to plan for that.

"If the reports are true that Cristiano wants to leave the club, then United should allow him to go and get a No 9 in who is going to be there for the next three or four years and really help them build a team that can be successful. Ten Hag has to be given time to do it,” Rooney opined.

'I think Man United should...' - Wayne Rooney's take on Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Old Trafford

The mystery regarding Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Manchester United continues to get complicated ahead of the new EPL season. Ahead of Man United's Premier League opener, where they face Brighton on August 07 (Sunday), it is being reported that the new manager Erik Ten Hag is set to bench Ronaldo from the playing XI.&nbsp;

So far, Ronaldo missed the Red Devils' pre-season tour of Bangkok and Australia -- citing personal reasons -- and only made a 45-minute appearance&nbsp;against Rayo Vallecano. His early exit from the game has not impressed the new manager, who is set to snub the star striker from Man Utd's season-opener (as per a report in The Sun).

Ten Hag is reportedly keen to go ahead with the front three in the form of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial. Thus, Ronaldo's omission will certainly make heads turn especially at a time when the 37-year-old isn't too keen to continue at the club. If this happens, this might&nbsp;push him further towards an exit.

Recently, in an interview with Dutch outlet Viaplay Sport Nederland, Erik opined on Ronaldo leaving the game before the final whistle. He said in this regard, "It is not a good look to leave early when you have been involved in the squad. It is different if you are up in the stands and not involved."

“You would expect someone who has played in the game to be in the changing rooms at the end to listen to the manager’s thoughts. Also a lot of people were there to see him and he was not even involved in the clapping of the fans after the final whistle,” Ten Hag added, further&nbsp;criticising Ronaldo.

It is clear that all is not well between Erik and Ronaldo and the two aren't on the same page as yet.&nbsp;

Cristiano Ronaldo to be benched by Erik Ten Hag for Man United's Premier League opener: Report

On Tuesday (July 25), Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in Carrington and joined the Manchester United camp for training ahead of the new EPL season. Ronaldo was set to have a discussion with new manager Erik ten Hag regarding his future at the club. Despite the talk, it seems Ronaldo is still keen to leave Man United and start afresh in a new club.

Ronaldo remains adamant to leave the Red Devils and join a club where he can compete for major titles. With United finishing sixth in the last EPL season, he will miss Champions League football as well for the 2022/23 season. Earlier, the Portuguese captain had missed the club's&nbsp;pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia, for personal reasons, which raised speculations of his exit.

Despite the talk, it seems Ronaldo is still keen to leave Man United and start afresh in a new club. Ronaldo remains adamant to leave the Red Devils and join a club where he can compete for major titles. With United finishing sixth in the last EPL season, he will miss Champions League football as well for the 2022/23 season. Earlier, the Portuguese captain had missed the club's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia, for personal reasons, which raised speculations of his exit.

Cristiano Ronaldo keen to exit Manchester United, club maintains he is not for sale: Report

Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in Manchester and joined the Manchester United camp on Tuesday (July 26). The superstar footballer touched down in Manchester along with his superagent&nbsp;Jorge Mendes to hold talks with new manager Erik ten Hag regarding his future with the Red Devils, ahead of the commencement of the new EPL season.

As per various reports, Ronaldo is eager to cut short his stay at the premier club -- with one year still remaining in his contract -- after the Red Devils failed to make a mark in the last EPL season, ending sixth and missing out on Champions League football for the 2022/23 season. Thus, Ronaldo is eager to be associated with a club where he can compete in the Champions League and, hence, the 37-year-old isn't happy with how things have panned out for him in his ongoing second innings at the club. Thus, reports suggest that the Portuguese captain has&nbsp;handed in a transfer request. His absence from Man United's pre-season tour of Bangkok and Australia for personal reasons&nbsp;further raised speculations of his exit.

Was Alex Ferguson part of Ronaldo's meeting with Ten Hag over his Man UTD future? Here's the truth

Will Cristiano Ronaldo stay put at Manchester United or will the superstar footballer join a new club? This remains a burning question in the football fraternity ahead of the commencement of the new EPL season. While at first it was believed that the Portugal captain will stay at the Red Devils, the situation has turned quite a lot as the 37-year-old is reportedly keen to start afresh in a new club. After Man United finished sixth last season, they will miss out on&nbsp;Champions League football for 2022/23 season, hence, Ronaldo is keen to make a move.

When Ronaldo's teammate and Man United midfielder Bruno Fernandes was asked about the Portuguese superstar's future with the club, the 27-year-old also remained puzzled. "I don't know what Cristiano said to the club and to the manager,"&nbsp;Fernandes said recently. "I don't know what's going on in his head, if he wants to leave. I didn't ask them that," he opined.

"From everything we know. He had some family problems so we have to respect his space, give him some space and that's it. The only thing I asked Cristiano when he didn't turn up was if everything was OK with the family. He told me what was going on, that's it and nothing more," Fernandes added.

Erik, the Red Devils' manager, remains confident that Ronaldo is not going anywhere, and he remains an integral part of the United squad, many reports have thrown in various clubs -- such as Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Athletico Madrid, PSG, etc. -- as possible options for the veteran footballer.

Will Cristiano Ronaldo remain at Manchester United? Bruno Fernandes shares his take

Manchester United have signed Christian Eriksen on a free transfer with the Danish playmaker signing a three-year deal, the Premier League club announced on Friday. Eriksen, who needed life-saving treatment on the pitch last year when he suffered a near-fatal cardiac arrest in a European Championship match against Finland in June, returned to action with Brentford after signing a short-term deal in January.

Eriksen is United's second recruit in the close season under new Dutch manager Erik ten Hag after the club signed Dutch left back Tyrell Malacia.

"Manchester United is a special club and I cannot wait to get started. I have had the privilege of playing at Old Trafford many times but to do it in the red shirt of United will be an amazing feeling," Eriksen said in a statement.

"I have seen Erik's work at Ajax and know the level of detail and preparation that he and his staff put into every day. It is clear that he is a fantastic coach.

"Having spoken with him and learned more about his vision and the way he wants the team to play, I am even more excited for the future."

Eriksen was an Inter Milan player when he collapsed and underwent surgery to be fitted with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) device -- which is not permitted in the Italian Serie A -- leading to the termination of his contract.

After signing for Brentford, he made 11 league appearances under Danish coach Thomas Frank, scoring a goal and providing four assists as Brentford finished 13th in their first season in the Premier League.

He is no stranger to the Premier League, however, having spent nearly seven seasons with Tottenham Hotspur, making more than 300 appearances in all competitions for the London side.

He also resumed his Denmark career, scoring against Serbia on his return to the Parken Stadium where he had collapsed.

"I still have major ambitions in the game, there is a huge amount that I know I can achieve, and this is the perfect place to continue my journey," Eriksen added.

United, who finished sixth last season and failed to qualify for the Champions League, kick off the new Premier League season with a home game against Brighton &amp; Hove Albion on Aug. 7.

Christian Eriksen joins Erik Ten Hag's Manchester United on a free transfer ahead of new EPL season

Cristiano Ronaldo's future with Manchester United hangs in the balance. When Ronaldo rejoined the Red Devils, after his first stint with the premier club from 2003-09, the ardent Man United fans erupted in joy. Ronaldo also had a good season with the team in 2021/22, returning with&nbsp;24 goals across all competitions -- the highest goal-scorer for United -- but the team's lacklustre run in the last EPL season resulted in them finishing sixth and missing out on Champions League football for 2022/23.

Thus, Ronaldo's future with the United remains a mystery for one and all ahead of the commencement of the EPL 2022/23 season. While the 37-year-old had earlier stated that he is eager to stay and take United to more glory, things have changed in recent times with the Portuguese captain reportedly not happy at the club and&nbsp;handed in a transfer request. Since then, reports have been flowing in that a lot of clubs -- including Man United's arch-rival Chelsea -- have been&nbsp;in talks with Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes.

Chelsea to not make a bid for Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United: Report

Liverpool was thrashed 4-0 by Manchester United in an exhibition match held at the Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok on Tuesday (July 12). Despite the defeat, the Jurgen Klopp-led club still remains one of the strongest contenders for winning the forthcoming EPL season.

Liverpool is currently in&nbsp;Singapore where they next&nbsp;play Crystal Palace, in an exhibition match, at the National Stadium on Thursday (July 14). Ahead of the EPL season 2022/23, The Reds' former captain and a legend of the club Sami Hyypia opined on Mohamed Salah's extension, thrashing at the hands of new-look Manchester United in Bangkok, team's strengths and rivalry with Man City.

Sami, a former club captain who was part of Liverpool's victorious&nbsp;Champions League campaign in 2004-05, interacted with WION's Sports Editor Digvijay Singh Deo and shared insights on many aspects. Firstly, he played down Liverpool's 4-0 loss vs Man United and said, "Yeah, everyone knows how big the rivalry is. I won't be too worried about the result. Everyone knows the circumstances under which we played. At United, there is a new manager. He wants to be successful straightaway so these friendlies are more important for him. I won't be too worried about this loss. I am sure Liverpool will be ready once the Premier League starts."

Regarding Mohamed Salah, Hyypia lavished huge praise on the 30-year-old Egyptian footballer and said, "He is a great player. One of the best players. He has shown that for many years. I'm glad he is staying here at Liverpool. When he performs like that, it is good for him as well as Liverpool. When Salah came on (in Bangkok), it looked like he had trained for a long long time. His fitness isn't a concern. He came from a holiday. Maybe that was more of a mental holiday. But, he seemed to be in good shape."

32 clean sheets in 63 games last season. Thus, without a doubt, a&nbsp;lot of Liverpool's success boils down to their defence and goalkeeper. In this regard, Hyypia said, "It is a great record. That department is well-equipped at the moment. We had a bit of a problem last year, with the central defence's injury, but now that department is sorted. Allison (Becker) is a world-class goalkeeper and he saved us many times last season. He made game-winning saves. In every department, maybe we are better than last season. I know Sadio Mane left for Bayern Munich but when a player wants to leave you can't force him to stay. If they aren't happy, so move on. Overall, even in that department, we are well-equipped."

It seems to be a two-horse race -- between Liverpool vs Man City -- for the top-two berth in the upcoming EPL season as well. Commenting on this, the 48-year-old veteran told, "I don't know if it is the biggest rivalry. There is a rivalry then it is all about good recruitment. It means a great atmosphere has been created. Each player knows his role. That has been great to see. The scouting department has also been great for Liverpool. They have been spot-on. They are doing an important job. It looks great. I don't think next season there will be anyone to challenge those two (Man City and Liverpool). Chelsea, and Arsenal would want to be in a position where Man City are, however, I don't think they will challenge them both."

Liverpool will look to go the distance and end with the EPL championship after ending second in the last edition. They begin their campaign versus Fulham on August 6.

At first, Guardiola was taken aback and didn't stop. After the fan finally managed to get hold of Pep and stopped him for a picture, the Man City boss wasn't too happy and didn't even entertain his follower's request for a selfie.&nbsp; "Yo Pep! Let me get a picture, why you running off bro, let me get a picture bro!" said the fan. "Let me get a picture, I just want a picture! I just want a picture, yo my g!," the fan told&nbsp;Guardiola after stopping&nbsp;his bike.

I played against them last year and when you meet it is completely different to the TV. I didn’t touch the ball for 25 minutes and it is like, '(Ilkay) Gundogan please stop playing tiki-taka'. It is a different level how they play and that is what I want to be a part of", Erling&nbsp;was quoted as saying by&nbsp;Sportsbible.

There has been a lot said and written about Cristiano Ronaldo's days in Manchester United. While first it was confirmed by Ronaldo himself that he is very keen on staying back and leading the club to glory in the next few seasons, the situation has turned upside down ever since.&nbsp;

Recently, it was revealed that Ronaldo has shown interest in moving to Chelsea after requesting to leave Man United. However, now another report have emerged regarding the superstar footballer's likely move out of the Red Devils' camp.&nbsp;

For the unversed, Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes has reportedly held talks with Bayern Munich as well as with Chelsea over his client's potential transfer this summer. Nonetheless, some reports have also claimed that Mendes has also&nbsp;met with Barcelona FC President Joan Laporta. The report of Mendes meeting Laporta was first reported&nbsp;by the Spanish publication AS.&nbsp;While nothing is official yet, his agent's meeting with the Barca president has led to widespread reaction as the club is the&nbsp;biggest rival of Real Madrid, where&nbsp;Ronaldo played for 9 years. In addition,&nbsp;the Portuguese captain's arch-rival Lionel Messi&nbsp;played most of his club football with Barcelona (for as many as 16 straight seasons, from 2005/06-2020/21).

Man United, under new manager&nbsp;Erik ten Hag, is aiming to revamp the whole squad before the new season. However, their lack of signings reportedly disappointed Ronaldo to start looking elsewhere and bring curtains to his second innings with the Red Devils. On Monday (July 04), as per&nbsp;Sky Sports, Man United are set to offer Christian Eriksen a three-year deal after the Danish football player&nbsp;agreed in principle to sign&nbsp;for the club. However, the 30-year-old midfielder will still have to agree to the personal terms with the Red Devils before he goes through a medical to finalise his move.

While Eriksen looks set to join the premier club, Ronaldo is likely to make a move after rejoining the team last year from Juventus.

Cristiano Ronaldo's agent meets Barcelona president as rumours of him leaving Man Utd increases: Report

Manchester United is aiming for a revamp ahead of the new EPL season. Despite that, the Red Devils haven't made a lot of signings. Thus, this has&nbsp;left Cristiano Ronaldo miffed&nbsp;and as per reports,&nbsp;he has&nbsp;been offered by his agent to move to Bayern Munich or Chelsea. While the Red Devils have maintained their stance that the star striker isn't up for sale, his agent&nbsp;Jorge Mendes is trying hard to find the best solution for the superstar footballer amid United's struggles for making a plethora of promising signings.

While there still is a couple of months for the summer transfer window to end, things might change with regard to Ronaldo. However, if he plans to switch and move to Chelsea or any other club, Man United might reportedly replace him with Paris Saint Germain (PSG) striker Neymar.&nbsp;

Talking about the 30-year-old Neymar, the Brazilian's case is quite opposite. Although the Brazilian hasn't indicated that he is willing to make a move from PSG, the French club&nbsp;is said to be looking to offload him for the right price. There are those who suggest that Neymar could be available for EUR 50 million this summer. Thus, Man United can certainly afford him at that price if they lose Ronaldo's services.&nbsp;

According to a report carried out in RMC Sport, Neymar remains top of Man United's wishlist as a potential replacement for&nbsp;Ronaldo.

After the Red Devils ended sixth in the last EPL season, there were speculations of Ronaldo leaving the club. Back then, he stated, "I was happy to be back in a club that really raised my career so it was unbelievable, the feeling when I came back again," Ronaldo said. "I was and still am very happy to be here," Ronaldo told Manchester United in an interview early this month. "The most important thing for me is to try to win the games and try to win some championship... but I believe that Manchester will be back where they belong. Sometimes it takes time, but I still believe," he added.

Thus, it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds for Ronaldo,&nbsp;also for Neymar, in the coming few weeks.

Neymar for CR7? Man Utd could replace Cristiano Ronaldo with PSG star if he leaves club: Report
