Man Utd Transfers: 5 Wayne Rooney Replacements David Moyes Should Buy

1. Cristiano Ronaldo

CristianoRonaldo Could this week get any more astonishing for Manchester United fans? The news that Ferguson announced his shocking yet absolutely inevitable retirement as manager of the club is still sending shockwaves throughout the world of football and is continuing to provide the media with more than enough headlines to chew on, and things could take an even greater twist in the days and weeks to come. Club legend Cristiano Ronaldo, who spent 6 seasons at Old Trafford between 2003-09 making 292 appearances and scoring 118 goals in the process, could be about to make a sensational return to the club just four years after leaving in a record-breaking £80 million deal. Outgoing United chief executive David Gill has been in Madrid to meet Jorge Mendes, the Portuguese super-agent who represents the megastar, according to reports, and is hoping to thrash out a deal for the former Ballon d'Or winner to return to Manchester. Lets face it, if you asked any United fan who they'd pick to replace Rooney, the majority of them would say "Ronaldo" without hesitation. He remains an idol in Manchester and could help smooth over the inevitable transitional period under David Moyes next season. Who do you think David Moyes should replace Wayne Rooney with if he leaves? Let us know in the comment section, below.
