Manchester United are planning to make a move in the transfer market to sign a new striker during the upcoming summer. This decision comes after Erik ten Hag acknowledged the need to address the club’s lack of goals.
The team has only scored 45 goals this season, which is the lowest among the top 10 teams. Ten Hag emphasized the importance of having two strikers in the league and competitions they participate in, highlighting the need for more options in certain positions.
One potential target for Manchester United is Jonathan David, who has scored 23 goals in 40 appearances and is the second top scorer in Ligue 1. Lille is reportedly seeking around £50 million for David, but United may be able to negotiate the price lower to £40 million given that the player has just over a year left on his contract.
Another option is Vangelis Pavlidis, who has shown promise with his goal-scoring ability and physical strength for hold-up play. Isak, a talented forward, has struggled with injuries but has shown potential when fit.
Finally, Osimhen is a highly regarded striker, although his price tag may be a significant obstacle for Manchester United. The text also mentions an option to join a new WhatsApp community for Mirror Football content and special offers.
