Manchester United are expecting Cristiano Ronaldo to head for the exit door during the January transfer window.

The Portuguese has had a tough campaign under manager Erik ten Hag and he has bagged just three goals from 16 appearances.

The 37-year-old remains determined to play Champions League again and this could pave the way for a mid-season departure.

According to Florian Plettenberg, the 37-year-old is expected to pursue a fresh challenge away from United in the New Year.

It is added that the club are already eyeing potential replacements with Bayern Munich's Eric Choupo-Moting being an option.

United have had a frustrating first half to the season, but they are still within three points off the final Champions League position.

The World Cup break is probably coming at the right time for them as they are missing several key players with injury concerns.

The Red Devils will be in Carabao Cup action against Aston Villa on Thursday before facing Fulham in the Premier League.
