Did Bayern Munich know of Cristiano Ronaldo’s plans last week? Man Utd are already moving on to an Arsenal target…
CHELSEA, BAYERN LINKED WITH RONALDO
What next for Cristiano?
After the Portuguese megastar needlessly torched his bridges at Old Trafford by sitting down with Piers sodding Morgan, Manchester United are assessing their options.
