Who’s King?
Who potentially replaces Ronaldo?
- Thread starter Berbaclass
- Start date
You’re all missing the obvious.
Scamacca used to play in the Netherlands. It’ll obviously be him.

not buying it mate, this team can barely press or play through midfield, rather keep it simple with a proper 9 rather than Bruno wandering and Fred or someone ending up as furthest man
Whats Ighalo upto?
Ex Bournemouth guy.
Probably Gapko since he plays in Netherlands or Jonathan David, I read Ten Hag likes him
It'd be so United to bring Neymar in now wouldn't it.
Wasn't aware of this, interesting
Good lord
Who do Ajax have up front?
Or any Dutch player...
Or any Dutch player...
How good is that De Katelere guy in Belgium
Exactly.
Better to manage expectations now.
Some 10 goals a year merchant for 50m.
The return of the one we gave away. Danny Welbeck.
Potential to be good, but not 25 goals a season good right now. He has 14 goals in 39 matches in the Belgian league. He'd be a great backup option, but nowhere near good enough to be the main man.
Very good, but a year or 2 early I'd say. He'll become some player one day, but the step up from Belgium (and CL football to be fair) to Utd is massive.
I'd love to take the gamble as I really like him, but I feel its too early.
Yeah, being the replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo seems like far too much pressure to put on the lad.
Not the type of signing to put this type of pressure on. Would be a good backup option but not to be 1st choice at this point in time.
Also.....
What about who replace Greenwood
Who replaces Fred/McT
Who replaces AWB/Dalot
Hard to see us having a hope of doing anything last year.
We don't have the ambition to fix this.

Scamacca would be a good replacement for me but I'm quite confident that we won't sign anyone else after we've wrapped up Malacia, De Jong and Martinez.
Napoli are the Italian answer of Spurs. They are very tough to deal with
That Sasa Kalajdzic seems to be rated highly.
Bring Mitro so this whole place goes in flames, kinda boring period till pre season properly starts.
I agree that his numbers isn't all that but everytime I watched him last season he was a handful for the oppo's defence, pressing and running at them like a madman. Also I have hope that ETH has a fluid system which doesn't depend on one set goalscorer.
I'd bring Pogba home again and try him in a more advanced role for a season or three.
I can see a swap with Neymar happening if the owners of PSG fancy having Ronaldo and Messi on the same team. It would be the ultimate FM dream albeit a few years too late.
Zaha isn't a forward while Toney is a brilliant holding CF. Depay too is more comfortable through middle. So it's not that funny. Zaha definitely can be considered for our left option but definitely not as our striker.
Not really.
That would be even more insane than us not signing a dm last season. We'll sign someone for sure. They can't be that deluded. I just hope it will be somebody that's actually good enough
If Ronaldo leaves and the current rumored players come in (Eriksen, de Jong, Martinez), i would guess we do this:
My guess is Bruno gets placed wide and we use Rashford/Martial through the middle and being first backup for front 3. Garnacho and Elanga would get a lot more game time. It probably suits Ten Hag more to pick from these rather than shoe horn Ronaldo, we'd press better as a team and probably play better, but the goals would obviously need to be spread out and there really isn't enough goals in that group.
Basically .. let's hope Ten Hag can work magic with Martial
Sancho Rashford Bruno
Frenkie Eriksen McTominay
Malacia Martinez Varane Dalot
De Gea
Garnacho Martial Elanga
Van de Beek Fred Hannibal
Shaw Maguire Lindelof AWB
Heaton

Bruno as a false 9 and we get Antony, or Dybala on a free wouldn't seem out of the question. Lautaro Martinez would probably suit Ten Hag but he seems to want to stay at Inter.
Regardless of who replaces him, there will always be an option. Every year there's some bright new thing that pops up on the scene (nunes, vlahovic, diaz) normally because we tend to not pay attention too much to teams outside the premier league we dont realise that there are plenty of potential talents out there. Its why I'm not too fussed about ronaldo leaving, the ronaldo thats leaving isnt an irreplaceable player, I would say he's a player that isn't that difficult to replace. Its just about finding the right profile of striker to come in and fit EtH's style of play.
I don’t think we’ll get a proper solution to this now. Probably some journeyman or a Cavani type free transfer will come in, if anybody.
This is a disaster for us. All the idiots saying they’re happy he’s leaving will look real smart when we get someone in who scores 10-12 goals while Halaand bangs them in for fun at the other side of town.
Right now we realistically can’t get anyone near good enough. We need him to stay a year and have a proper replacement lined up.

Isak would be the dream. Would cost a few bob though.

That doesn't look very good. At all.
That's a lot more than drink, acid or mushrooms is my guess.
Read that his form hasn't been great this year.
The rumour was that Ten Hag wanted a versatile forward and he has played as a striker many times…
Plus last season, he out scores both Depay and Toney. I’m not gonna champion the idea because I’d much rather us spend the money and get someone better. I just find the sneering at him amusing given some of the other suggestions.
