  The 21-year-old prospect is highly sought  after, with Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern  Munich and Inter Milan also monitoring  his progress. As reported by Sport, United are determined  to sign Alvarez, who has scored 18 goals  in 21 league games this season. United interim manager Ralf Rangnick  is determined to bolster his team's attacking  options, and  Alvarez is seen as a player  who could help the club in that department. Alvarez, who progressed through the  ranks at River Plate's academy, is a senior  Argentina international and has been capped  by his country on five occasions.  Rangnick can already call upon the  likes of  Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani, Mason  Greenwood and Marcus Rashford, but  United are still looking to strengthen. Alvarez's agent Fernando Hidalgo is  reportedly set to fly out to England in order  to discuss a deal.  So far this season United have scored  30 goals in the Premier League - 21 fewer  than leaders Manchester City, who have  pl

Manchester United favourite Cristiano  Ronaldo has been offered an unlikely  Premier league switch amid the Old Trafford  outfit's struggles this season. It comes after the Portugal international  sent a message to former boss Ole Gunnar  Solksjaer after he  was replaced by interim  boss Ralf Rangnick. Ronaldo's goalscoring exploits have been  a rare positive for United this season and  he has now managed something his former  boss could not do in a United shirt. And on his 80th birthday, club legend Sir  Alex Ferguson's no-nonsense stance on the  Cristiano Ronaldo    vs Lionel Messi rivalry  has come to light. Sir Alex's rivalry stance Manchester United icon Sir Alex Ferguson  has celebrated his 80th birthday – and very  few people have had the impact on Cristiano  Ronaldo's career the Scottish icon has. Sir Alex signed Ronaldo as a young prospect  from Sporting Lisbon in 2003 and has always  held the Portuguese forward in high regard. Ronaldo has often been compar

  Maguire replaced Ashley Young as United  skipper in January 2020, less than six months  after his arrival at Old Trafford from Leicester  city for £80million. The England international has endured  widespread criticism from fans and pundits  alike during a troubled campaign, with United  keeping just four Premier League clean  sheets with the captain in the side this season. Sections of United’s fanbase have called for  Maguire to be dropped from the starting  XI, with the centre-half coming under fire  again against Newcastle and Burnley this week. Injuries and Covid for Raphael Varane  and Victor Lindelof respectively have made  that process difficult, Ferdinand believes,  while also suggesting the armband makes  it difficult for Ralf Rangnick to leave him  on the bench. Questioned whether Maguire would have  been dropped had he not been club captain , Ferdinand told  Vibe with five : ‘The fact  that he has had the armband has given him  that grace. Which it would do. I think he  w

  Manchester United re-signed Cristiano  Ronaldo in the summer, fulfilling a dream  transfer many fans thought would never  be possible. Even at the age of 36, Ronaldo is  demonstrating his qualities as a truly special  player, with 14 goals already this season. So what lies ahead in the year 2022?  Hopefully a big improvement in results,  after a horrific start to this current season  which saw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fired. It’s clear there are still improvements  required, with this squad of players still  far from the real deal. Here is a look at  three dream signings the club should consider  making in 2022… Erling Haaland Manchester United need to find a replacement  for Edinson Cavani, with the Uruguayan’s  contract set to expire in the summer. Erling Haaland is the most in-demand  striker in Europe, and while that means  dealing with Mino Raiola, Haaland is worth it. Haaland is driven and focused on success , and has previously expressed admiration  for Ronaldo .United’s system of

  Paul Ince has put forward Scott McTominay  as a possible replacement for Harry Maguire  as Manchester United captain. Speaking on Premier league production, Ince nominated McTominay as the potential  successor to Maguire’s armband. The Scotland international certainly put  on a performance worthy of being called  the skipper last night. He scored an excellent goal in United’s 3- 1 win against Burnley and nearly added  to his tally on numerous occasions. It was the midfielder’s first goal of the campaign , but he finished past Wayne Hennessey  like a seasoned striker. Away from the penalty area, the 25-year- old put on an assured display in the middle  of the Old Trafford pitch. An exhibition that needs to be repeated  on a regular basis if he is to secure a permanent  place in Ralf Rangnick’s set-up. MCTOMINAY TO REPLACE MAGUIRE? Purely on the basis of Thursday’s outing,  the Scot won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Especially not if he takes over captaining  duties from Maguire, a
