Man United forward plans: what will become of Ronaldo?

Cristiano Ronaldo will leave Manchester United by the end of the season at the latest. The Red Devils have targeted Benjamin Sesko from RB Salzburg as a successor.

The English newspaper reports TheTelegraph. Accordingly, United is ready to let Ronaldo go even in January. By summer at the latest, when the Portuguese’s contract expires, the English record champions want to present a successor.

The preferred candidate is Benjamin Sesko from RB Salzburg. The 19-year-old has signed a preliminary contract in Leipzig and will move to the Bundesliga after the season for 24 million euros. Despite this, United still believe in a transfer. The English trust Sesko to develop similarly to Erling Haaland.

Next to Sesko, Dusan Vlahovic is in the Red Devils’ field of vision. Signing the Serb could be particularly interesting if Vlahovic’s club Juventus missed out on the Champions League. With eighth place, the Bianconeri lag far behind their own claims.

New right-back

In addition, like this TheTelegraph, United are looking for a right-back. Diogo Dalot is currently set but it’s unclear if the 23-year-old will stay at Old Trafford. FC Barcelona should show interest. Dalot’s contract expires after the season, with United having an option for a one-year extension.

Back-up Aaron Wan-Bissaka has not been able to convince Erik ten Hag so far. Joined for 55 million from Crystal Palace three years ago, Wan-Bissaka has never started. That’s another reason why there are Bundesliga pros Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen and Benjamin Henrichs from RB Leipzig. Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries is also among United’s candidates.
