RONALDO WANTED BY CHELSEA

Last updated : 17 February 2005 By editor

‘Manchester United are angry at Cristiano Ronaldo’s new deal demands — as they believe the wonder winger is playing them off against Chelsea. Blues boss Jose Mourinho has told chief executive Peter Kenyon and owner Roman Abramovich he wants them to break the bank to sign and pay Ronaldo — and United know about the move.

’Ronaldo said: “Nobody knows what will come tomorrow. I like being here but who knows. There aren’t many bigger and better clubs than this one. At the moment we are doing really well. Our work is to try to bring trophies home. Chelsea are a very consistent team and I think Mourinho is very good as he knows how to motivate his players. But I really hope United can peg back the gap on Chelsea.”’
