Manchester United already considering an option to replace Cristiano Ronaldo

The atmosphere at Old Trafford in recent weeks has not been calm and losing at home to Brighton on the first day of the Premier League did not help at all.

The tense relationship between Erik Ten Hag and Cristiano Ronaldo, who was a substitute, is in the spotlight at the start of the season. The club would want to get rid of the Portuguese in order to relax the players. In the event of his departure, some English media point to Alvaro Morata as the one chosen by Manchester United to fill Ronaldo's vacancy.

The reason for Manchester United players' anger with Cristiano Ronaldo

Morata can still leave Atlético de Madrid. Although there was no agreement for him to stay at Juventus and he was convincing in the preseason, United has enough potential to take him out of the Metropolitano and has shown interest.

The Red Devils are at a crossroads because of Cristiano Ronaldo's situation. The Portuguese is keen on leaving and Jorge Mendes offered him to different clubs, including Atletico, but so far he has not convinced any of them. However, at Old Trafford they assume that it is difficult for them to continue counting on him and they are already looking for a guaranteed replacement.

Morata wants to stay at Atlético de Madrid

Although his friction with Simeone pushed him to leave, the striker prefers to defend the red and white jersey and stay in Madrid after living two years in Turin. His chances of leaving will depend on how ambitious United's economic proposal is.

The English team's desperation to sign striker plays in favor of both Atletico and Morata in terms of economic benefits. The Manchester side have been unable to sign Marko Arnautovic from Bologna and have few alternatives.
