Man Utd watch as Chelsea boss Mourinho admits: Ronaldo relationship non-existent

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has branded his relationship with Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo as "non-existent".Manchester United are reportedly lining a mega-money bid to bring the Portugal forward back to England next summer.

"The relationship between Ronaldo and myself is non-existent," he told TV1.

"He plays for Real Madrid, I'm the Chelsea manager.

"You would not find us hanging around together. The relationship does not exist but the memories of his impact do.

"I have to remind myself that he is a goal machine who helped me become a Liga champion, win the Copa del Rey and the Supercopa.

"I try to keep the best memories of Cristiano Ronaldo with me and I wish him all the best in his career - especially with Portugal but also with his club."
