LONDON (AFP) - - Luiz Felipe Scolari has lit the fuse on Chelsea's explosive Premier League showdown with Manchester United by admitting he could make a move to sign Cristiano Ronaldo.

The first meeting of English football's two superpowers since last season's Champions League final was already packed with combustable elements, but Scolari has added his own gunpowder to the mix.

He plans to share a bottle of wine with Sir Alex Ferguson after Sunday's clash at Stamford Bridge, but the Brazilian is in for a taste of the United manager's hairdyer treatment instead after giving Ronaldo an open invitation to join him at Chelsea.

Ferguson spent most of the close-season fending off Real Madrid's attempts to prise Ronaldo from Old Trafford and he won't take kindly to Scolari's tongue in cheek comments.

Although Ronaldo, who is set to make his first start of the season after recovering from an ankle injury, thrived under Scolari's leadership with the Portugal national team, the Chelsea boss must realise he has no realistic chance of signing the winger.
