Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has shed light on how he is overseeing the process of replacing Cristiano Ronaldo after the 37-year-old's controversial ...

"I’ve told you before, in the summer as well, when you talked about a lot of players. [HAVE YOUR SAY!](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manutd-tenhag-ronaldo-transfer-gakpo-28705998#comments-wrapper) Who should United try to sign as Ronaldo's replacement? The main name currently being touted with an Old Trafford switch is Cody Gakpo, the PSV Eindhoven and Netherlands national team star. "I cannot give comment on specific players, I will never do," the Red Devils boss explained. We are doing research at every opportunity and we will do everything we can [to sign them] if that opportunity is there." His position at the club was left untenable and the pair have since parted ways.

Manchester United parted ways with Cristiano Ronaldo in November and Erik Ten Hag has vowed to replace him in January.

The Red Devils recently conducted warm weather training in Spain ahead of their return to Premier League action. THE BIGGER PICTURE: Despite vowing to strengthen up front, the Dutchman did not want to be drawn on anyone in particular, adding: "I cannot give comments on specific players. We do everything in our power.

We do everything we can if that opportunity will be there.”

Cristiano Ronaldo might have been a nuisance at the end of his second stint at Old Trafford, especially the infamous interview with TalkTv, but his absence.

And now we have to stop the process and we get him and he gets himself in a better position so that he’s fit and available. In the past, maybe he did something wrong, I don’t know. For our team, he’s a really important player and we need that profile. He’s also racked up an incredible goal contribution ratio this season when factoring in his limited minutes, though the Frenchman has struggled to stay fit. Other targets have been linked and will come into focus in the coming days. Ten Hag was understood to be willing to forego a striker signing in January as long as it meant ridding himself of his Ronaldo problem.

Player ratings from the WSL Manchester derby between Man City & Man Utd at the Etihad Stadium.

The growth in experience has been huge. Took up positions between the lines and worked hard off the ball too. It changed the momentum of the game and soon Kelly went close to putting City ahead with an effort from out wide that flashed across the face of goal. Showed quality with the ball too. The travelling contingent of United fans were louder and more passionate with their singing, and it took City around 10 minutes to get into their stride. But the first time that City really broke that press in the second half, they scored. The visitors had been best out wide against Aston Villa last weekend and in the early stages here and it was a move that came from the left. A really mature performance overall. His team were much improved after the half-time interval. Had a couple of headers well saved. Barely gave the ball away as per. A Chloe Kelly cross from the right wasn’t cleared and Coombs was in a great position to stoop and nod in.

The chances of United forking out £100m+ on one player in the winter window are virtually nil. The current marks in that regard are held by Paul Pogba (£89.3m) and Jack Grealish (£100m) respectively. The 28-year-old is on the fringes at Barcelona and Xavi’s side are reportedly open to a January sale. This is a sporting project, not a financial one. His £200,000-a-week wages are also an issue. Napoli lead AC Milan by eight points at present and losing their star centre-forward mid-season is unthinkable right now.

According to reports, Man Utd have already made a 'crazy offer' to sign Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig as the race to sign the defender hots up.

We are showing signs on the field of being an exciting team that people will want to come and play for”.

However, he also went out of his way to emphasise that his side will not be forced into a panic signing.

Schweinsteiger suggested Ten Hag has pulled off a transfer masterstroke when declaring Casemiro “one of the best” in the world in midfield. He scored an amazing goal against Switzerland as well and he is a very important piece for the Brazilian national team. While the Selecao ultimately fell to Croatia on penalties, Casemiro was near-flawless throughout the tournament. Eyebrows were raised when United forked out an initial £60m to sign the Brazilian. What’s more, Liverpool went into the World Cup break just one place behind Man Utd and their first half of the season could hardly have gone worse. It’s long been theorised Fernandes thrives when Ronaldo isn’t in the same eleven.

The fans were good to me in the street. "Looking back, I shouldn’t have been so upset, but at the time that’s how it was. [Join the debate!](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-schneiderlin-van-gaal-28707690#comments-section) What did you make of Schneiderlin during his spell at Man Utd? The problem was me because I knew I had so much to give but I couldn’t give it because I felt restricted. He said: "We were told: 'When you have the ball you have to do this' instead of playing with my gut like I had done with [former Southampton bosses Mauricio] Pochettino and [Ronald] Koeman. I started to complain to my wife. Schneiderlin's latest conundrum encapsulates the general downward curve his career has been on since his frustrating spell at Old Trafford. "He is a flawless guy, who respects the club. Your confidence goes down." You lose your instinct, your start to force things, you miss passes, you arrive too late for a challenge. He has six months left on his contract and he wants to find a new project where he can flourish. The opposite is also true.

Manchester United can solve a problem in Erik ten Hag's squad with a potential bargain transfer involving one of the World Cup's most impressive stars.

However, if there is a bargain deal to be had, Ten Hag could push United to make a move for Juranovic and have the Croat sharing responsibility with Dalot in the bid for a top-four finish. But his form in Ange Postecoglou's Scottish Premiership-dominating side and role in Croatia's run to the World Cup semi-finals is certain to have boosted his value. To be honest, his valuation is going to depend on which level of club comes in for him. Celtic have already signed his replacement, Canadian defender Alistair Johnston, in preparation for his exit and are open to discussing a deal. Ten Hag has given up on Aaron Wan-Bissaka and plans to sign his replacement in an upcoming transfer window. The Red Devils intend to tie Dalot down to a new contract, sell Wan-Bissaka and recruit a new right-back in 2023.
