Man Utd, Chelsea on alert as Ribery casts doubt on Bayern Munich future
Manchester United and Chelsea are on alert as Franck Ribery has cast doubts in regards to his future in Germany with Bayern Munich.
The France international, who has been the subject of much transfer speculation in recent times, believes Bayern may not be up to the challenges of European football and has admitted that a move could very well be on the cards.
Ribery has been linked with both Man United and Chelsea as well as Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona and has hinted that Bayern may struggle against the likes of these mighty European clubs.
“Bayern is still a big club. It's one of the biggest in the world but I find that our team is not as strong as other teams, like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea," Ribery told RTL radio. "Maybe we will have trouble competing against these teams."
It seems Ribery has adopted the psyche of ‘if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em’ and these latest comments are sure to have the aforementioned clubs licking their lips.
“I want to win trophies and to enjoy myself. I'm not 20 anymore. I am closer to the end (of my career) than the beginning," added Ribery.

can any team buy lionel missi for next season ever real madrid can not affort it because they will run at lost
if Ribery goes to Real Madrid i m sure he will ruin his career..if he is excellent player and will become the world best if he joins either Manchester United or Barcelona...Chelsea is good but istill think they deal the same way as Real do
