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

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick is planning to replace Cristiano Ronaldo with highly-rated Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
That is according to a report by Napoli expert and Italian journalist Ciro Venerato, as cited by Tutto Napoli, who claim that Rangnick wants to add the Nigerian to his attacking options next season. United are set to prioritise the addition of a new, younger striker this coming summer and Osimhen fits the profile.

However, despite the €75million release clause within his contract becoming active this summer, United are not expected to win the race for his signature.

He joined the Serie A giants from French club Lille in 2020 and has scored 21 goals in 52 games since. He has also chipped in with seven assists, four of which have come this season.
