Manchester United are targeting several key positions for improvement ahead of the upcoming season under Erik ten Hag. Following a disappointing eighth-place finish in the Premier League last season, bolstering their attacking options has become a priority for the Red Devils.
A significant issue for United was their lack of goal-scoring prowess, prompting Ten Hag to prioritize the addition of a new striker to the squad. Numerous forwards have been linked with a move to Old Trafford recently.
Reports suggest that Manchester United are considering a reunion with former striker Romelu Lukaku if they are unable to secure a deal for Joshua Zirkzee, who is currently their preferred choice. However, signing Zirkzee won’t be straightforward as Arsenal and AC Milan are also interested in the Dutchman.
Should Zirkzee prove difficult to acquire, Lukaku, who recently completed a loan stint with Roma but remains a Chelsea player, could return to Manchester United. Lukaku previously scored 42 goals in 96 appearances for the Red Devils during his initial spell at the club.
Meanwhile, AC Milan legend Hernan Crespo has advised his former club to pursue Lukaku instead of Zirkzee, potentially opening the door for Manchester United to make a move for the young Dutch striker.
In other transfer news, Manchester United are reportedly close to finalizing a £34m deal for Real Madrid left-back Miguel Gutierrez. The Spanish defender, currently on loan at Girona, played a key role in their Champions League qualification last season. Real Madrid retains a buy-back option of £6.7 million, which they are expected to activate before selling Gutierrez to Manchester United.
