Thomas Tuchel persuaded from signing Cristiano Ronaldo by talk with former Man U manager

Ralf Rangnick’s time at Manchester United was a bit of a disaster – but it may have helped out Chelsea.

The Daily Mail are claiming that the German coaching icon spoke to Thomas Tuchel this summer having spent 6 months at United. He apparently advised the Chelsea manager against signing Cristiano Ronaldo.

Thank goodness for that. The only thing worse than spending insane money on Anthony Gordon would have been spending any money (and insane wages) on a 37 year old Ronaldo, who has seriously disrupted the last two teams he played on.

We imagine the temptation would have been too great for Todd Boehly to turn down if he’d got his manager’s green light. In fact, the report says our new owner actively pushed for it.

So thank goodness Tuchel – via Rangnick – said no.

Although if we end up spending that same money on an average player, it will all have been for naught.
