Manchester United fans have identified a replacement for Marcus Rashford after a world class player shared a cryptic social media post.

Man United are reportedly open to offers for Rashford, who has been tipped to complete a shock transfer to a top six Premier League club.

The Red Devils have slapped a shock price tag on his head ahead of a potential Old Trafford departure.

If the club sanctioned a transfer, then a replacement would be quickly sought.

And Man United fans think an ideal candidate has emerged following Rafael Leao's cryptic post on Instagram.

Leao, who scored in AC Milan's 2-1 win over Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League on Wednesday, uploaded an image of fellow countryman Cristiano Ronaldo playing for Man United from the 2008/09 season on his Instagram story.

Man United fans online spotted Leao's social media upload and reckon he saw the bombshell Rashford news this week.

One X user wrote: "He saw the Rashford being for sale news."

A second tweeted: "Rashford replacement right there."

A third added: "Saw the Rashford news and started begging it."

A fourth said: "Rafael Leao to Manchester United."

Another urged: "Bring bro to United asap."

Leao, 25, is in his sixth season at Milan, having joined the Italian outfit back in 2019 from Lille in a transfer worth £29 million.

He has scored 64 goals across all competitions since signing for the club and is widely regarded as one of the best wingers in world football.

Leao has been linked with a move away from the San Siro in the past, with the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea mooted as potential destinations.

The Portuguese international could be a player Man United look at should they follow through and sell Rashford.

A potential Leao transfer to Man United would add to the club's Portuguese contingent with Ruben Amorim at the helm and the squad consisting of Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot.
