One Of This 3 Strikers Will Be Perfect For United They Should Get One”. With The Recent Departure Of Striker Anthony Martial, Who Ended His Nine-Year Spell At Old Trafford Last Month, The Red Devils Are Keen To Bolster Their Attack. Manchester United Legend Rio Ferdinand Has Urged The Club To Sign One Of Three-Man Striker Shortlist’ Including A Premier League Star And TWO Of Europe’s Most Prolific Forwards, Ahead Of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s First Transfer Window At Old Trafford.
Manchester United is actively preparing for the upcoming summer transfer window by compiling a shortlist of three potential strikers to enhance their squad. This move comes amidst ongoing speculation about the future of their current manager, Erik ten Hag. With Sir Jim Ratcliffe set to take charge for his first summer, the club is eager to make significant acquisitions. The recent departure of Anthony Martial, who concluded a nine-year stint at Old Trafford, has intensified the need for bolstering their forward line.
According to ESPN, Manchester United has identified Brentford’s Ivan Toney, Lille’s Jonathan David, and Bologna’s Joshua Zirkzee as primary targets. At present, Rasmus Hojlund is the only recognized striker within the squad. The club’s performance in the 2023-24 season highlighted the urgent need for reinforcements in the attacking department.
Joshua Zirkzee, who transferred to Bologna from Bayern Munich in August 2022, had an impressive season, finishing joint-15th in Serie A’s scoring charts. He netted 11 goals in 34 league matches, playing a crucial role in helping Bologna secure fifth place and a coveted spot in the next season’s UEFA Champions League. In addition to his goal-scoring feats, Zirkzee also provided four assists. Despite these contributions, Zirkzee’s future at Bologna remains uncertain, especially with his modest release clause of £34 million, making him an attractive prospect for United.
Ivan Toney and Jonathan David, both nearing the end of their contracts, present potentially cost-effective options for United. Their contractual situations could facilitate negotiations and make their acquisitions more feasible for the club.
Furthermore, RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko is also on Manchester United’s radar. Although Sesko is likely to extend his stay with Leipzig, he has drawn considerable interest from both Arsenal and Manchester United, hinting at a potential bidding war for his services.
Ajax’s Brian Brobbey is another striker linked with United, driven by ten Hag’s interest. As Manchester United aims to strengthen their squad, securing a top-tier striker remains a priority to enhance their attacking capabilities for the next season. The club’s focus on these targets underscores their commitment to addressing the shortcomings in their squad and making a strong impact in the forthcoming season.
