Man Utd eyeing unhappy Atletico Madrid attacker Felix as Ronaldo replacement

Manchester United are eyeing Atletico Madrid attacker Joao Felix.

Deportes Cuatro says Felix wants to leave Atletico either in January or in the summer.

That could pave the way for United to make their move.

Reports in Spain suggest a loan move in January is an option, with a view to a permanent deal next summer.

Felix is represented by Jorge Mendes, the same agent who deals with Cristiano Ronaldo.

And Mendes could be a busy man come January, with the potential for him to negotiate deals for both of the Portuguese stars.

The Red Devils have already been linked with Felix in recent weeks.

Ronaldo's strop, which has seen him banished from first-team training ahead of today's trip to Chelsea, has only heightened speculation that he could quit the club.
