Move to Manchester United maybe good alternative but I don't think with Joa Felix can't filled position leaving by Cristiano Ronaldo because he not as real central forward and most active playing as second striker. I think Manchester United have position to filled with central forward and typical have by Joa Felix as winger or second striker position.
Joao Felix is more of an attacking minded player and Athletico Madrid aren't that team. His defensive attributes is low and he needs to move away from the club. Manchester United offers an opportunity for a him to work with a coach who is possessive minded but Felix won't be used as a centre forward as the media put it, that's why United are in pursuit of PSV's Coady Gakpo and the deal could be done this January and then Felix in the summer.
But now we are talking about a serious possibility for them again. Depay's performance at Lyon and Barcelona might be misleading. I don't know if a player can do much better after returning to the team which he performed really poorly before. We have seen Chelsea trying it with Lukaku but it didn't end well for them.
Depay isn't a bad player but he was young when he moved to United and the Premier league. And he didn't get it right because of the tenacity in the Premier league. He his a fantastic player but not someone united should prioritize at the moment. There more younger wingers to go for with potentials. Most of these his link are sometimes fabricated by the media just for click baits because United has made a concrete offer as I know of.
