Erik Ten Hag: "Cristiano Ronaldo is NOT for sale, he is in our plans – he's not with us due to personal issues. We are planning with Cristiano Ronaldo for this season, that's it". 🚨🔴 #MUFC

Sources: Chelsea weighing up a move for Serge Gnabry as an alternative to Raphinha.
However, the player himself appears to have other ideas and plans, and he has yet to turn up for pre-season training at his club.
Chelsea have obviously had their name thrown in the hat as a potential suitor to sign him this summer, with the club in search of a new attacker or two, but it doesn’t look like they will actually be making any moves to bring him in.
According to reporter Ben Jacobs, A Chelsea move isn’t likely despite a meeting between Todd Boehly and Ronaldo’s agent. Thomas Tuchel does not think it makes football sense to sign Ronaldo.
A Chelsea move isn’t likely despite a meeting between Boehly and Mendes. Thomas Tuchel does not think it makes football sense to sign Ronaldo and Raheem Sterling’s arrival (and excellent signing) isn’t likely to change his mind.
