Manchester United are reportedly exploring a move for Brentford striker Igor Thiago this summer

Manchester United have reportedly identified Brentford striker Igor Thiago as a potential attacking target during the summer transfer window. Initial contact is said to have been made with the Brazilian forward’s representatives as the club gathers information about his availability, although negotiations have not progressed beyond the preliminary stage.

Despite the reported interest, signing a new striker is not currently at the top of United’s agenda. The club is focused on adding quality in midfield and at left-back first, while any decision to bring in another centre-forward is expected to hinge on what happens with Joshua Zirkzee’s future before the transfer window closes.
