Cristiano Ronaldo’s request to change shocks Manchester United, but does not immediately incapacitate the Premier League giants. The Reds are already targeting a replacement for the superstar.
Dembele for Ronaldo? Now that it is clear that star striker Cristiano Ronaldo (37) does not want to score for Manchester next season, United is desperately looking for a replacement – and has found him in Olympique Lyon star Moussa Dembele (26), as “Media Foot” reports . “Secret talks” are said to have already taken place with the centre-forward.
Short, compact, clear
Strong pre-season rate: The France international scored 21 goals in 30 league games last season. Lyon are said to be open to selling the ex-Fulham star. Manchester United believe they are in a good position to sign Dembele after the Red Devils’ transfer summer has been very sluggish so far.
United no longer a top player: Apparently the top players on the market have a huge problem with United not playing in the Champions League this season. That’s why Ronaldo is running away and the hotly courted Frenkie de Jong from FC Barcelona also doesn’t want to come for this reason, although he would meet his coach Erik ten Hag, who was valued from Ajax times, again at Old Trafford.
