Manchester United 'locate' Cristiano Ronaldo replacement and more transfer rumours

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly preparing for Cristiano Ronaldo to leave Old Trafford, with RB Salzburg striker Benjamin Sesko one of his main targets.

According to The Telegraph, Ten Hag is keen to bring 19-year-old Sesko to Old Trafford as a long-term replacement for Ronaldo. The 37-year-old has eight months left on his contract, and despite being welcomed back into the first team, it appears the club are now planning for life without the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

Although Sesko has agreed a deal to sign for RB Leipzig for the 2023/24 season, it is believed that the Slovenian striker can still be tempted with a move to Old Trafford. After a heavy summer of spending at Old Trafford, it appears that any deal will likely be after the upcoming January transfer window.
