Erik ten Hag's plan if Cristiano decides to leave Man Utd in January

Man Utd have plenty of alternatives to what will happen to a team that has yet to find the version that will make them more effective. The team is on a good path, after a summer transfer window in which they signed important players, spending more than £200 million.

Cristiano Ronaldo's constant theme is once again being played, as the 37-year-old Ronaldo is still keen to play in the Champions League and is keen not to miss out on the chance to keep putting up numbers in the top club competition. What would stop this operation is that in the summer he could leave at no cost.
