Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho believes Real Madrid will block any attempt by former club Manchester United to take Cristiano Ronaldo, 28, back to Old Trafford.
Full story: London’s Evening Standard
What’s the story? See, this is what makes me think Mourinho is just playing with United. This obviously isn’t any of his business but he’s trying to make the club look like it’s struggling, even if they’re not. But he wants to stir up that impression.
Does it make sense? Why would Real sell Ronaldo?
Is the price right? Real want to win a Champions League and selling the most destructive player in the world won’t help that.
Will it happen? 0/10 – He’s not going to United barring some extraordinary series of events that sees Bale and probably Suarez go to Madrid. But that would all have to happen in 5 weeks, which, considering how slowly everything has gone so far, seems incredibly unlikely.
