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. Ferdinand just know what we need to perform next season💯 but who do you think will be perfect for man United🙀😱🙀
Manchester United has reportedly identified three potential strikers for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Despite uncertainty regarding manager Erik ten Hag’s future, the club is intent on strengthening the squad under Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s leadership. With the recent exit of Anthony Martial, who ended his nine-year stint at Old Trafford, United is keen on enhancing their attacking options.
ESPN reports that Brentford’s Ivan Toney, Lille’s Jonathan David, and Bologna’s Joshua Zirkzee are on United’s shortlist.
Currently, Rasmus Hojlund is the only recognized striker in United’s lineup. After a challenging 2023-24 season, the club is eager to bring in new talent.
Joshua Zirkzee, who transferred from Bayern Munich to Bologna in August 2022, finished the season tied for 15th in the Serie A scoring charts, netting 11 goals in 34 games. His performance helped Bologna secure fifth place and a UEFA Champions League spot. Despite his success, Zirkzee, who also contributed four assists, might not stay at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara for Bologna’s first elite European campaign since 1964, as he has a modest £34 million release clause and is in high demand.
Both Ivan Toney and Jonathan David are in the final years of their contracts, potentially making them available at reduced prices.
RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko is also on United’s radar, although he is likely to extend his contract with the German club. The 21-year-old had garnered interest from both Arsenal and Manchester United.
Ajax’s Brian Brobbey is another player of interest, reportedly driven by ten Hag’s preference.
As United seeks to strengthen their squad, the primary focus remains on securing a top-tier striker to improve their attacking capabilities for the next season.
