![Ancelotti 4](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Ancelotti-4-500x323.jpg)Manchester United fans in the Transfer Tavern have spent the best part of the weekend drowning their sorrows after another shock defeat, which has handed a significant blow to their title chances.

For the fans at the bar, this would be a major double deal and they’d love to secure both Ancelotti and Ronaldo imminently.
