Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho claims he doesn't have a relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo despite working with the superstar at Real Madrid.

Manchester United have been linked with a move for the Portuguese winger next summer, as have the Blues. 

Mourinho told TV1: "The relationship between Ronaldo and myself is non-existent."

United could be beat by Monaco to Portuguese star Bruma as the French club look to replace James Rodriguez.

The 19-year-old moved to Galatasaray from Sporting Lisbon last summer and has impressed in Turkey.

Monaco are reported to be planning a move in January, despite Bruma still having four years left on his current contract but they believe £14m may be enough to convince the Istanbul side to sell.

Angel Di Maria has revealed that Louis van Gaal's presence was a key factor behind his decision to sign for Manchester United.

The Red Devils snapped up Di Maria from Real Madrid for £59.7m and the Argentinian has expressed his delight that the Dutchman put in such an effort to secure him.

He said: "I am really grateful to him because, thanks [to] him, I am now playing for United." 

Patrice Evra claims he left Manchester United at the end of last season due to 'personal problems'.

The 33-year-old joined the Italian champions for a nominal fee during the summer despite signing a one-year deal in May, bringing an end to his eight-year spell in the Premier League.

He said: "I was having personal problems at Manchester United and the only team that I wanted was Juventus.
