Although it is fair to assume the 37-year-old is not overjoyed at the thought of missing out on Champions League football next season, following the Red Devils’ fifth-place league finish, a move to Stamford Bridge feels like something out of a video game.

Widely-regarded as one of the sport’s greatest ever talents, Ronaldo is so much more to United than just a megastar – he is their best ever player and undoubtedly a legend in that part of the world.
It is still unclear whether or not Todd Boehly’s Blues will revisit the possibility of signing the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, but one thing is for sure, even at the age of 37, Ronaldo continues to dominate headlines.
