Cristiano Ronaldo sends message to Diogo Dalot as Manchester United duo train together

Manchester United are reportedly eyeing Arsenal target Alexander Isak as Cristiano Ronaldo's potential replacement.Signing Ronaldo last summer was always going to be a short-term solution to the Red Devils' hunt for a striker, with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner now 37 years old.It might be even shorter than planned, though, because a season without silverware or Champions League qualification could see him depart this summer.If that were to happen, then The Mirror claim United could make a move for 22-year-old Isak, who has been heavily linked with Mikel Arteta's side to fill their gap for a new frontman. It's reported that United are keen on the Real Sociedad forward, but so are their Premier League rivals Chelsea.The Gunners now seem to have company in the race for the man seen as an alternative to Erling Haaland, who has looked set to move to Real Madrid but could now be up for grabs.They decided against making an offer for him in the January transfer window as his La Liga owners are only interested in selling for his £75m release clause.Would United be better off with Isak than Ronaldo? Let us know in the comments section.Isak's contract runs until 2026, which means Sociedad have no reason to cash in for any less than that fee.The Sweden international, who already has 31 caps for his country, has registered eight goals and two assists in 26 appearances for his club this season.Despite the rumour mill going into overdrive when he was spotted in London last month, Isak is remaining focused on his football.He told Mundo Deportivo: "I am not talking about other clubs.

talkSport: "I got slated for saying this about Cristiano Ronaldo before, that he’s come in and taken all the attention away from what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was doing. "I’m not saying that he’s not going to score you goals, he scores a bag of goals, but was he the right thing for Man United? Was he the right thing for that team?"The evidence shows, and not even just from tonight, but going on everything that has happened since he came in, Man United still have not gone to the next level."I’m not saying it’s just Ronaldo’s fault – a lot of things have happened – but he is part of the problem too."Obviously you’re going to look for Ronaldo but I don’t know whether he can lead by example anymore.
