Erik ten Hag has narrowed his list of potential Cristiano Ronaldo replacements to four players, according to reports.
Manchester United head into the January window with their glaring need for attacking reinforcements only exacerbated by the acrimonious departure of Ronaldo last month. His exit leaves Ten Hag with a paucity of options up top and the Dutchman has already made it clear he will need additions.
Pressed for a comment on whether they would look to immediately replace the veteran striker, the United boss said: "Yes, but only when we find the right player. We will do everything in our power. We are doing research at every opportunity and we will do everything we can [to sign them] if that opportunity is there."
