Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd’s Ronaldo exit plan, Arsenal improve £38m bid, De Jong latest | Football | Sport
With Cristiano Ronaldo said to be unhappy that Manchester United have done so little in the transfer market so far, Spanish outlet Sport say they are ‘working on’ deals for Arnaut Danjuma and Antony as they seek to get Ronaldo back on side.
It’s said the Red Devils want five signings – with Frenkie de Jong, Lisandro Martinez and Malacia the other three – to add to the squad.
Ten Hag will hope adding as many of his targets as possible, with Christian Eriksen said to be a Plan B option should a swoop for De Jong fail, to convince Ronaldo not to quit Old Trafford.
Ronaldo leaving would need United in need of a new striker, with very few high-class options out there to succeed the veteran. Darwin Nunez was a target but joined rivals Liverpool instead.
