Here are what some readers had to say with regards to the article - Who will United buy now?

I have some suggestions for United on who to buy this summer.

Samuel Eto'o - I think his experience, speed and skill will be good for United next season.

Franck Ribery or Arjen Robben - Both have great skill and speed. The difference between them and Ronaldo is that they are both team players while CR7 was always selfish.

I'm a big United fan and was shocked to see Ronaldo go but now I wish him luck as he is such a great player and has done United proud in the past.

The money we have now is a huge sum but why buy a replacement when there is one at the club already.

Nani!

He is such a great player and has a similar style to Ronaldo and may even be better than Ronaldo.

Spend the money to keep Carlos Tevez! He is the best striker after Rooney. Use some money to buy a solid central midfielder which was an area we struggled in during the Champions League final.

I think United should give top priority to Rooney and Tevez rather than to buy players like Ribery and Valencia.

We all know Alex Ferguson is the best in the world and it will be up to him how to manage it all.

I hope that Tevez remains with United and I hope that we stay at the top even though they lost Ronaldo.

As a backup to Cristiano Ronaldo, Sir Alex Ferguson should look at Franck Ribery and David Villa for this transfer season.

Hope that he will get these players in for United!

Well, I think the only player that can replace Ronaldo is Messi.

But the Barca forward is unlikely to come so the next best thing for Ferguson will be to bring David Silva to the club.

David Villa is also good and so is Atletico Madrid's Sergio Aguero.

First of all, the Red Devils should focus on keeping Tevez at Old Trafford.

I think Ronaldo is not the only United player who matters a lot. The success and failure of a club depends on team spirit, good understanding between players and manager.

I would like to see Franck Ribery and Antonio Valencia in place of CR7 for the upcoming season.

Ronaldo was nothing when he first joined United, it was Ferguson who made him a star and I am sure he will make Manchester United a stronger team than before.

I really think United should buy Ronaldinho. I remember one or two seasons back, there were rumours that he wanted a move to the BPL.

He would be out to prove a point to the world that he is still one of the best and United could buy him for a lesser amount compared to Ribery.

I am sure Ferguson can bring the best out of him.

As we all know, Ronaldo is heading to Real Madrid.

But we as United fans shouldn't worry about the performance of the team, I am sure Ferguson knows what is best for the club.

For me, there are two players that could replace Ronaldo. They are, Ribery and Xavi.

Also, Ferguson should buy Karim Benzema.

The best way to raid Madrid after losing Ronaldo to them is to buy three of their players.

Rafae; van der Vaart, Arjen Robben and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

That would practically give the Red Devils a whole new starting lineup.
