Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted he would be happy to see Arsenal win the Premier League, if Manchester United cannot become champions.
The Portugal star has caught the headlines with an explosive interview aired this week, where he criticised his employers, current manager Erik ten Hag and his former team-mates Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville.
His comments have led to a growing expectation that a swift departure from Old Trafford is on the cards after the World Cup in Qatar when the January transfer window opens for business – and his admission on the Premier League title race will cause a further stir.
United have struggled for stability in the Premier League this season, while Arsenal have lost just once – at Old Trafford – as they look for a first top-fligh…

Albiol will reunite with Ronaldo and Co. when his Napoli face Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League in February next year.

There is part of his personality that many people do not know. People do not know the true Ronaldo.

Winger Jonathan Biabiany has returned to Inter, the Serie A club confirming the 27-year-old has signed a four-year deal at San Siro.
Biabiany spent four seasons at Parma, playing 179 league fixtures for 26 goals but the club s recent turmoil that saw them file for bankruptcy and get demoted to Serie D stamped his exit papers.
The former France Under-21 international was previously at Inter from 2004 to 2011 as both a youth and senior player, but made just 14 league appearances while being farmed out on loan to Chievo, Modena and Parma.
A season at Sampdoria was followed by a permanent move to Parma, where he made an impression on the Italian top flight.
Biabiany s defection from Parma emulates that of Jose Mauri, the teenage midfielder switching earlie…
Brazil coach Dunga said winning is the only option for us ahead of Sunday s friendly against Chile at the Emirates Stadium.
The Brazilians are in terrific form under Dunga, who replaced Luiz Felipe Scolari after a disastrous end to the 2014 World Cup, which they hosted.
Dunga in his second spell as coach has seen his side win all seven matches they have played since the World Cup, conceding just two goals in the process.
The highlight of that run came on Thursday, when Brazil came from behind to defeat France 3-1 in front of more than 80,000 fans in Paris.
Raphael Varane gave France an early lead but Oscar levelled before Neymar and Luiz Gustavo struck in the second half to give the South Americans victory.
Barcelona star Neymar has eight goals …
David Beckham has returned to visit former club Paris Saint-Germain and meet up with many of his former team-mates.
The former England captain played for PSG in 2013, his final club before retiring from football and ending a glittering career.
Beckham, 41, is back in the French capital to conduct an interview with the club s television channel, but he also took time to pose for photos and visit the dressing room.
PSG released photos of Beckham after he was presented with a number 32 shirt – the same number he wore in his PSG playing days and posted a message reading Welcome back David .
Beckham was also shown meeting up with captain Thiago Silva, Maxwell and Javier Pastore, all of whom were at the club during his spell.
It is great to be back …
This will be the first of three dead rubber matches for new champions Chelsea after they secured the Premier League title, but knowing Jose Mourinho, top 4 hopefuls Liverpool cannot expect any favours from the Blues. Brendan Rodgers side need to win at Stamford Bridge if they are to have any chance of finishing fourth, and they will give their best to take advantage of the situation the opposition are in.
As soon as the season started, everybody could see that Chelsea were the main contenders for the Premier League trophy and the Blues in turn shown incredible consistency to win the coveted title with three games to spare. The team did fail to live up to the potential on other fronts, but the first league trophy since 2010 has turned this season into a success. All that s left …
Steve Mounie played a starring role with two goals and an assist as Huddersfield Town ended their five-match losing streak in the Premier League with a 4-1 home win over in-form Bournemouth.
Mounie has struggled for consistency since becoming the Terriers record signing at £11.5million in pre-season, but he produced arguably his most complete display in England on Sunday, impressively leading the line to inspire the side s first league win since December 16.
Considering David Wagner s men had scored just once in the process of losing their last five top-flight games and had not netted two goals in a single game since beating Watford 4-1 in mid-December, their first-half performance came as something of a surprise against a Cherries outfit unbeaten in seven in the le…
Leicester City s decision to sack Premier League winner Claudio Ranieri is the biggest shock in a decade, according to Alan Smith.
Former Leicester striker Smith was stunned by the call to remove manager Ranieri from his position on Thursday, less than a year after their magnificent title success.
The Foxes sit just one point clear of the relegation zone with 13 matches to play after being crowned champions at odds of 5,000-1 last season.
I m flabbergasted, Smith said to Sky Sports. We have seen some surprising decisions over the last 10 years but this one tops the lot given his and the players amazing achievements last season.
You just thought that unless they went down they would stay with the manager that engineered the finest moment in the club s h…
Bologna midfielder Roberto Soriano is back in the fold four years after his previous call-up, while Domenico Criscito returns for the first time since October 2018.
Gianluigi Donnarumma, Alex Meret, Leonardo Bonucci, Alessandro Florenzi, Jorginho, Federico Chiesa, Lorenzo Insigne and Moise Kean have all been given permission to join up with the team the day before that match.
The rest of the squad will convene on Sunday, or as soon as they have completed any necessary period of isolation.
