Paul Merson believes Cristiano Ronaldo could be the ideal solution for Chelsea.
The footballer turned pundit acknowledges that Ronaldo is struggling at Manchester United and thinks he would do a better job in Thomas Tuchel’s side because apparently, he would not be required to do as much running.
Furthermore, Ronaldo could take advantage of having two wing-backs like Reece James and Marc Cucurella, whereas that quality doesn’t currently exist at United.
Chelsea are currently favourites in the bookmakers to sign Ronaldo.

Moreover, Merson doesn’t think United can consider themselves rivals to Chelsea anymore.
🗣 "Why is it their rival? They're not top four, they're a million miles off. They've got to make sure they're not selling to Newcastle."
