Manchester United are likely to consider Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix as a potential replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, according to reports in Spain.
The 22-year-old, who was signed for £113m in 2019, is believed to be unhappy with his role at Atletico and he is keen on leaving the La Liga club during the January transfer window.
United (along with Chelsea and Arsenal) are reportedly among the favourites to sign Felix and the majority of supporters on Twitter would back a move for the Portuguese international:

Felix is undoubtedly a very talented young player, but his goal record in senior football is nothing to write home about. In 165 appearances, he has scored 49 goals.
Over the past three seasons, the forward has actually averaged a goal every four matches, but some of that can be attributed to the defensive style of football that Atletico play under the management of Diego Simeone.
If he were to make the switch to Old Trafford, you would be confident that Erik ten Hag would make better use of his ability.
