Manchester United are 'considering Kylian Mbappe' as an option to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, who has parted company with the club.

The Red Devils have been linked with signing a new striker for some time, but their search appears to have gained urgency following Ronaldo's departure, which came as a result of an explosive interview with Piers Morgan.

In the interview, the striker's position at Old Trafford became untenable as he openly criticised the club, Erik ten Hag and the Glazers. 

His contract has now been ended, freeing up a sizable chunk of United's wage bill, and allowing them to look to the top echelon or European football for a replacement.

According to reports in the Mirror, United are keen to bring in PSG and France star Mbappe in January, with the striker likely to cost them over '£150million' plus a similar wage packet to Ronaldo of around '£500,000' per week.
