Ralf Rangnick reveals Man Utd’s transfer plans with THREE strikers targeted… but Ten Hag will decide Ronaldo’s future
RALF RANGNICK has declared incoming Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag must decide whether Cristiano Ronaldo is a part of his plans.
The interim Red Devils gaffer has also claimed the club will sign "two or three" strikers in the summer as part of a huge rebuild.
Dutchman Ten Hag was confirmed as United's next permanent manager last month, with attention already turning to who he will bring in.
Speaking after the humiliating 4-0 away defeat against Liverpool, Rangnick stated that up to TEN players could be signed.
And he has also declared in April no outfield player in the squad is safe, with everyone besides David de Gea at risk of being axed by Ten Hag.
Despite Ronaldo continuing to dazzle, having scored eight goals in his last five Premier League games, his future at Old Trafford is in question due to fears he wouldn't suit Ten Hag's style of play.
It is no secret that United are desperate to bolster their attack, with Napoli's Victor Osimhen and Benfica's Darwin Nunez reported targets.
Meanwhile Everton ace Richarlison has also emerged as a possible option, along with Roma marksman Tammy Abraham.
Speaking to , Rangnick was asked Ronaldo's future and whether he fits into his successor's plans.

"He's showed that he can still be a vital part of this team, but it's obvious the team needs some more strikers.
"There should be two or three new strikers next season, it's pretty obvious."
Discussing recruitment, Rangnick remarked: "If you think of Manchester City and Liverpool, they brought in [players] every transfer window.
"They strengthened the team, they brought in players not that popular at the time when they signed and developed into the two best teams in the world.
"I wouldn't be surprised if they play in the Champions League final in a few weeks.
"This shows it is possible that this can happen and it would not necessarily need three, four years in order to do that."
