The rhetoric is heating up in advance of Chelsea’s visit to Old Trafford on Sunday. While Peter Kenyon, the Chelsea chief executive suggests a move from Stamford Bridge is in the works, Cristiano Ronaldo tries to emulate Muhammad Ali’s wit but ends up sharing only his kicking skills from five yards out:
Blues’ chief executive Kenyon also said they will have to quit Stamford Bridge.
“By 2014 we want to be internationally recognised as the number one club,” he said. “But I think it’s pretty clear we can’t get to where we want to here.”
But United winger Cristiano Ronaldo hit back, saying Chelsea would fall apart if boss Jose Mourinho left the club.
He said: “Mourinho is a great coach and he is Portuguese, so I can’t speak badly of him.
“I would like to see what would happen if he were to leave Chelsea. Perhaps they would stop getting good results.”
