Jamie Vardy is seen by Ten Hag as the solution to the striker's problems

Manchester United are monitoring Jamie Vardy's situation at Leicester City, according to reports, as Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Old Trafford hangs in the balance.

It was reported last month that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is looking to leave the English club this summer, with his decision due to his desire to play in the Champions League for the remainder of his career.

The 37-year-old, who believes he still has three or four years left at the top level, played his first pre-season game on Sunday against Rayo Vallecano.

But after being substituted at half-time, critics rose as he left Old Trafford before the final whistle.

With Ten Hag's attacking options a concern at the moment, Anthony Martial is expected to lead the way for United in their Premier League opener against Brighton on Sunday.

So will he try to bring in another striker this summer to replace Edinson Cavani and potentially, Cristiano Ronaldo?

A report from 90min has emerged suggesting that a number of clubs are monitoring Jamie Vardy's current situation at the King Power, including United and Chelsea.

The 35-year-old, who has a year left on his current contract with Leicester, is a proven goalscorer in the Premier League. He scored 17 goals in 33 games under Brendan Rodgers in all competitions last season and from another, broke the record for most goals scored after the age of 30 in the first league of England.

Vardy is said to have yet to engage in talks with the Foxes over a new deal. /Telegraph/
