Former Arsenal defender Gallas predicts Ronaldo’s next club when he leaves Man Utd

William Gallas talks about Man Utd

William Gallas thinks there is a good chance Cristiano Ronaldo could end up at Chelsea when he leaves Man Utd after the World Cup.

The Portugal international has caused a major stir this week after an explosive interview with Piers Morgan was aired on Talk TV, with the final part still to come on Thursday night.

By criticising the club and management it appears like an attempt to force a move away from the club with little chance of him playing for Man Utd again.
