5 players who could take Cristiano Ronaldo s position at Manchester United September 2022

5 players who could take Cristiano Ronaldo's position at Manchester United (September 2022) Comment Share Manchester United v Real Sociedad: Group E - UEFA Europa League A packed Old Trafford chanted Cristiano Ronaldo’s name as he took to the field for Manchester United against Newcastle United on September 11, 2021. Donning United’s iconic red shirt for the first time in 12 years, Ronaldo marked his homecoming in perfect fashion, scoring a superb brace in a 4-1 victory over the Magpies. Ronaldo maintained his good form in front of goal over the course of the 2021-22 season, scoring 24 goals for Manchester United in 38 games across competitions. Eighteen of his 24 strikes came in the Premier League (30 games), helping him emerge as the league’s third-highest scorer behind joint-toppers Mohamed Salah and Heung-min Son (23 goals each). GOAL@goalThe end of the road for Cristiano Ronaldo? 333961776The end of the road for Cristiano Ronaldo? https://t.co/EQ8ZiWzSgQ Despite Cristiano Ronaldo’s best efforts, Manchester United lost out on a top-four finish in the Premier League, thus missing out on Champions League football. Over the course of the summer, the superstar was linked to multiple Champions League-playing clubs, but a move did not materialize. Possibly reluctantly, Ronaldo has stayed put at United but is yet to find his footing under new manager Erik ten Hag. Ronaldo has started only three of eight games this season across competitions, scoring only once (penalty). Given his lackluster form, Cristiano Ronaldo could be on borrowed time at Manchester United. Over the course of the 2022-23 season, we could see the club replace him, either with a forward already on the first team or with a new recruit. Today, we will check out who they might be. Now without further ado, let’s check out five players who could take Cristiano Ronaldo’s spot at Manchester United:

#5 Antoine Griezmann

Atletico de Madrid v Real Madrid CF - LaLiga Santander According to the Hindustan Times, Cristiano Ronaldo could be shipped out of Manchester United in January, paving the way for them to bid for Barcelona ace Antoine Griezmann this winter. The French forward, who is currently on a two-year loan at Atletico Madrid, has been in decent form this season, scoring thrice and claiming one assist in eight matches across competitions.

But Manchester United could offer him some respite if the two clubs fail to agree.

A move to Old Trafford could be a win-win for both parties, as Ten Hag would have an energetic forward who’s not only dynamic but also works tirelessly.

#4 Anthony Martial

Manchester United v Liverpool FC - Premier League Anthony Martial impressed everyone at Manchester United with his performances in the pre-season, scoring thrice in three consecutive games in July. Unfortunately, however, he has only been able to feature in one competitive game for Manchester United in the 2022-23 season, missing the rest due to injuries. Martial provided an impressive assist in the only match he’s played in thus far, propelling his team to a 2-1 win over Liverpool in the Premier League on August 22. ???????'? ?????? @CantonasCoIIarCity breathing a sigh of relief that Martial may potentially miss the Derby.82131City breathing a sigh of relief that Martial may potentially miss the Derby. https://t.co/1FoEGwLLJY At 26 years old, the France international still has age on his side, works hard, links up effortlessly with his teammates, and can score goals as well as create. If Martial can keep himself fit, he could be the ideal replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo at United.

#3 Victor Osimhen

The Nigerian forward was reportedly involved in a potential swap deal with Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, but the move did not materialize.

He is a hard worker, knows how to be in the right place at the right time, and is known to create chances at well. Signing him, however, might be difficult for the Red Devils as Napoli reportedly want a nine-figure fee for their in-form striker.

#2 Marcus Rashford

Manchester United v Liverpool FC - Premier League Academy graduate Marcus Rashford has started in six Premier League games this season, with five of those appearances coming at Cristiano Ronaldo’s expense. Rashford has looked considerably sharper under Ten Hag, taking his chances and looking for ways to create openings as well. Naturally a left winger, Rashford might take a while to become an out-and-out center forward. However, if he can get more comfortable in a central position, United might not have to turn to the transfer market for an ideal Cristiano Ronaldo replacement. ????²⁵@UTDissaaMarcus Rashford winning the PL POTM is all I need4347200Marcus Rashford winning the PL POTM is all I need https://t.co/oNOdckg96R Rashford, whose contract expires in June 2023, has scored thrice and claimed two assists in the Premier League this season. The Englishman was at his scintillating best in the match against Arsenal on September fourth, scoring twice and providing an assist in a 3-1 victory.
