5 players to replace Cristiano Ronaldo at Man Utd including free transfer and favourite

Manchester United could be looking to sign a new attacker after it was revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave the club this summer.

The Red Devils have been rocked by the news that their iconic No. 7 is ready to quit the club this summer, just one year on from sealing a sensational Old Trafford return. The 37-year-old has reportedly requested to leave the club in the current window should a suitable offer arrive amid claims he craves to satisfy his insatiable appetite for Champions League football and challenging for major honours.

Ronaldo grabbed 24 goals in 38 games last season including 18 in the Premier League - the third-highest scorer in the division behind Mohamed Salah and Heung-min Son. Ronaldo only made a fairytale return to Old Trafford last summer following successful spells at Real Madrid and Juventus.

However, the Red Devils will need to replace Ronaldo if he departs the club and have been linked with a number of players in the meantime. So, with that in mind, here are five possible options Erik ten Hag could turn to.

Reports have emerged that United have been in direct contact with Dybala's agent Jorge Antun over a potential move for the 28-year-old free agent, with Arsenal also keen. The Argentine left Juventus last month after seven years at the club, where he scored 115 goals in 293 games throughout his time at the club.

Despite operating mainly as a No.10 or a second striker throughout his time at Juventus, Dybala can also play on his own up front and as a winger - the versatility United may require with Ten Hag willing to try out new ideas. Dybala struggled with injuries and fitness problems last season but still manage to directly contribute to 21 goals in 39 matches across all
