Man United Transfer News: Three Strikers Manchester United can Target in Summer

After a disappointing campaign Manchester United have reportedly identified three forwards to revamp their attacking lineup. Currently, the Red Devils are sitting at eighth with 54 points after 35 matches. This summer an almost complete overhaul of the squad is expected from the Red Devils.

Earlier this month Man United manager Eric ten Hag spoke to Gary Neville and admitted the requirement of better players in the Manchester United squad, as he is out of options in some positions, making it impossible to continue his tasks.

Man United Transfer News Three Strikers Manchester United can Target in Summer


In the summer transfer window, the Premier League side signed Rasmus Hojlund from Atlanta and the Danish international has scored eight goals in this EPL. The 21-year-old has been seen as a future potential and reportedly will be retained for at least another season. Another forward option Anthony Martial, started only five games this season and scored only one goal.

Transfer News 2024: Top Three Forwards Who Can Join Man United This Summer?

Michael Olise: According to ESPN, Manchester United are currently the front-runners to sign the Crystal Palace forward, if the player leaves the club this summer. The 22-year-old reportedly has a 60-million release clause in his contract, which will be activated after the current season.

Despite missing most of the first half of the season due to injury, the Eagle starlet has registered nine goals and four assists across the competition. The French youngster will be an upgrade for Anthony Martial, who has been below par this season.

Victor Roque: The Brazilian forward has been linked with the Red Devils previously, but the EPL side failed to land him, as the youngster joined Barcelona from Athletico Paranaense. Earlier in 2024, Roque made his debut in La Liga as a substitute.

The 19-year-old could leave the Nou Camp this summer, as confirmed by his agent. Recently there was discontent with him in the Barca management and Barca boss Xavi Hernandez had dropped him from the squad for a few matches. There will be high chances for United to fulfil their past transfer wish this summer.

Joselu: According to Football Espana, Manchester United are interested in signing Espanyol striker Joselu this summer and have spoken to his agents. Though the forward is currently on loan at Real Madrid. Considering his age and the stage he is in his career, this surprise transfer rumour would not be the one to excite United fans. The Spanish forward has past experiences in the Premier League with Stoke City and Newcastle United, but he flopped in the English top-tier football by failing to meet the expectations.

The 34-year-old has done a good job at Madrid, scoring nine goals in La Liga by starting only 13 matches. In the recent past, the Red Devils have signed ageing attacking players like Christiano Ronaldo, and Edison Cavani. Despite being past their best, they produced some good moments for the team. But the Spaniard is hardly at their level.

As of now, Erik ten Hag is reportedly will be at the helm of the PL giant for the next season also. A chance of a complete overhaul barring prospects like Hojlund, Mainoo and Garnacho, is being heard from multiple sources.
