Martial had initially been linked with a potential Old Trafford exit, and it now remains to be seen if United would be willing to part ways with him - especially considering Ronaldo's ongoing transfer saga.

Meanwhile, Timo Werner is the other alternative the Old Lady could push to sign as Massimiliano Allegri pushes to strengthen his squad.

Man United fans joke Martial can replace Ronaldo

Ronaldo is staring at an uncertain future with teh Red Devils, a year after he rejoined them from Juve.

However, a section of supporters now contend that Martial can perfectly replace him after rediscovering his form.

The French forward has been playing as United's sole striker in the pre-season, with Ronaldo yet to report to camp.
