Manchester United are exploring the prospect of re-signing forward Memphis Depay from Barcelona.

According to Sport, Man United manager, Erik ten Hag sees Depay, a former Red Devils star, as a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, after his contract was terminated on Tuesday evening.

Man United will back Ten Hag with a move for Depay as long as Barcelona grant the Netherlands international a free transfer in January.
