Domestic or international?

Domestic, it's pretty clear the "replacement" is the 737-900/737-9.

International, it would have to be the A321LR at this point, unless BA decides to go ahead with a seriously-modified 737-10 and/or the NMA. Either that or UA would simply choose not to replace them at all (i.e. up gauge or abandon the transatlantic routes currently served by 752s).
