‘Depay snubbed’: Man Utd identify No.1 target for striker position
Fans of Manchester United have made it very apparent that Joao Felix is the player they choose the most to replace Cristiano Ronaldo in the lineup when the new year begins in January. Despite Memphis Depay’s impressive goal-scoring form over the past few years, the majority of supporters do not want the Glazer family to pursue a reunion with the former Red Devils forward Memphis Depay, according to the readers of Express Sport.

United have been in need of a new attacker ever since Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract was terminated by mutual agreement after a contentious interview with Talk TV host Piers Morgan, during which he lashed out at the club and manager Erik ten Hag. United have been searching for a replacement for Ronaldo ever since.

Ten Hag is still in need of firepower up top despite the fact that the five-time winner of the Ballon d’Or is starting to settle in at Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr. Ten Hag is reportedly considering a variety of other options in this regard. Just under half of the 5,686 people who participated in the survey that was carried out by Express Sport are in favor of Felix being drafted in by the Glazers as an additional option through the middle for this season’s competition.
After having a disagreement with manager Diego Simeone, it is almost inevitable that the 23-year-old will leave the Spanish city of Madrid before the month of January is over. The head coach of Atletico Madrid, Miguel Angel Gil Marin, has already stated that the player wants to leave the club.
United is one of the clubs that has shown interest in the player, but the exorbitant loan conditions that Atletico has made could ultimately discourage them. It is said that the Red Devils have made a bid of £3.5 million to take him on loan for the remainder of the season, but the Rojiblancos are reportedly demanding up to £13 million for the temporary agreement.

The former Golden Boy winner was acquired by Atletico Madrid for the staggering sum of 113 million pounds in 2019, but he has never scored more than ten goals in a La Liga season at the Metropolitano. The readers of Express Sport were presented with a total of five potential replacements for Ronaldo in the attacking position, and they ultimately decided that Felix’s countryman Rafael Leao would be the best choice.
