Although the Ronaldo saga is yet to be resolved, Manchester United are already making preparations for his replacement.
Reports indicate that the club are looking to go all in on unsettled PSG star Kylian Mbappe to replace their wantaway striker, who made astonishing revelations in an interview.
Cristiano Ronaldo has almost undoubtedly played his last game for the Red Devils after his latest comments in the explosive interview, where he said he has no respect for manager Erik ten Hag.
In that regard, the club have accelerated their plans to buy a centre forward, a priority position outlined by ten Hag. Ivan Toney has been heavily linked to fill the position.

According to an exclusive from the Mirror, the club are looking to move in on the PSG superstar and World Cup winner.
The club are willing to splash £150 million to land the forward, who would significantly elevate ten Hag's side to potential Premier League and Champions League contenders.
The 20-time English champions are also ready to pay the young Frenchman £500,000 a week, just like Ronaldo.
The 23-year-old was set to join Real Madrid last year, but abandoned that move to sign a brand new lucrative extension with the French giants last May until 2025, according to Goal.
While it will be hard to lure Mbappe to Old Trafford mid-season, United feel a compelling offer may be enough to secure the deal of the most exciting football talent in the world.
