The contract of Manchester United target Vincent Aboubakar was canceled by the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr. 


The 30-year-old joined Al-Nassr from Besiktas in June 2021, and in his subsequent 39 appearances, he has amassed 13 goals and six assists. 


In addition, Aboubakar scored twice for Cameroon at the 2022 World Cup, including a beautiful chip in a 1-0 victory over Brazil.


To make room for Ronaldo, Al-Nassr has said that they have amicably canceled Aboubakar's contract. 


After serving the second game of a two-game suspension for knocking a phone from of a 14-year-hands old's after United's loss to Everton in 2021, the Portugal international is now anticipated to make his Al-Nassr debut on January 22 against Ettifaq.


The attacker reportedly prefers a move to the Premier League despite being linked with a move to the Turkish giants. 


Following reports that the 20-time English champions are considering Wout Weghorst for a loan option, Aboubakar is not the only striker on United's radar. 


Burnley's Weghorst is presently playing for Besiktas on loan, and the Turkish club's sports director recently refuted rumors that a transfer to Manchester United was imminent. 


While Weghorst is thought to be a loan option, Memphis Depay and Joao Felix have also been mentioned in connection with the Red Devils.


Ronaldo has allegedly registered, thus the Portugal international will just have to sit out one more match like he did against Al-Tai. The 37-year-old will now probably make his Pro League debut for Al-Nassr against Al-Ettifaq on January 22 depending on his physical condition and the team's selection. 


Additionally, Aboubakar, who made a strong impression for Cameroon at the World Cup, is said to be searching for a new team after scoring 13 goals and dishing out six assists during his stint in Saudi Arabia. In a surprising reversal of allegiances with his Portuguese counterpart, Manchester United was recently linked with a loan transfer for the attacker.


Having been granted the go-ahead to make his much anticipated debut for his new club, Ronaldo, it is now up to Aboubakar to select which team he will sign with as a free agent. 


Following Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival, Besiktas is planning to step in and sign Vincent Aboubakar, which might ensure Wout Weghorst's transfer to Manchester United. 


Due to Saudi League regulations limiting clubs to eight foreign players per squad, Aboubakar's contract was cancelled by the Saudi Arabian club to make room for Ronaldo.
