As Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at Old Trafford remains uncertain, reports claim that Manchester United are “monitoring” Jamie Vardy’s situation at Leicester City.
Ronaldo, a five-time winner of the Ballon d’Or, is rumoured to be asking to leave Manchester United this summer in order to play in the Champions League for the remainder of his career.
The 37-year-old played his first preseason game on Sunday against Rayo Vallecano and thinks he has three to four more years at the top level.
However, after being replaced at halftime, questions were asked when he left Old Trafford prior to the final siren.
Anthony Martial is anticipated to start at centre forward for United against Brighton on Sunday in their Premier League debut because of Ten Hag’s limited forward options at the moment.
Several clubs, including both United and Chelsea, are reportedly keeping an eye on Jamie Vardy’s current situation at the King Power, according to a report from 90min.
The 35-year-old is a seasoned Premier League goal scorer and has one more year left on his current contract with Leicester.
Last season, he broke the record for the most goals scored in England’s top division after the age of 30 when he scored 17 goals in 33 games for Brendan Rodgers in all competitions.
Vardy reportedly hasn’t started negotiations for a new contract with the Foxes yet.
The club would evaluate Vardy’s future at the organisation this summer, according to Leicester manager Rodgers earlier this year.
“There probably will have been some discussions behind the scenes, but at this moment in time, we’re quite relaxed on it,” he said.
“He’s very happy here. I’m sure we’ll assess it and look at it in the summer.”
