Manchester United's pursuit of Harry Kane confirms they are already planning for life after Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo rolled back the years with a stunning hat-trick on Saturday, to seal a thrilling 3-2 victory for United over Tottenham in the race for fourth spot. The 59th hat-trick of Ronaldo's glittering career made him the most prolific scorer of all-time, with 807 goals, and took his tally for the season to 18.

Only Mo Salah has scored more than Ronaldo in the Premier League this season, yet the United hierarchy know their iconic No.7 is likely to be on his way this summer, after a solitary season at Old Trafford in his second spell. While Kane's arrival is far from certain and will cost United a record fee in the region of £120million, interim boss Ralf Rangnick – who will move into a consultancy role this summer – has already declared a new striker the priority.

Ronaldo will certainly not be prepared to play the role of understudy to Kane or whoever United sign to lead their attack, which means the 37-year-old is set to move on this summer, after reminding Old Trafford of his enduring class. The ideal scenario for United fans who would love to see Ronaldo stay on for another season would be for him to be accommodated into the same team as Kane,
