Well, everyone is busy in the summer transfer market, and so does the premier league giant Manchester United. Now Manchester United are keen to bring a new striker at the old Strafford in this transfer window.
United’s Anthony Martial confirmed that he will leave the club when his contract expires. That means Rasmus Hojlund is someone who left for the striker position, so bringing another striker will definitely reduce the burden on Hojlund. United has some names in their mind, whom the Red Devils can target in the summer transfer window.
Manchester United Striker Option
So, currently Manchester United has five striker options that they can sign. Starting with French side Lille striker Jonathan David. Various European giants particularly Premier League clubs including Manchester United are very interested in signing this Canadian forward. The 24-year-old had an outstanding season with the French side, helping the club to finish in fourth place in the table. Last season Jonathan Davis netted 26 goals and bagged 7 assists in 47 matches across all competitions for Lille. The 24-year-old scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists in only 3 Coupe de France matches.
In the second option, the Red Devils are interested in a premier league striker. That is Brentford striker Ivan Toney. The English international is on the striker list of Manchester United, because of his remarkable last season. Toney appeared 17 times for the Bees and had six goal contributions. The English international’s physicality on the pitch is exceptional. And the red devils need someone physically strong because Hojlund is not that physically strong.
Another Premier League striker who can also go on to join the Red Devils in the summer is Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The 27-year-old is always on the news in every transfer season for a possible move to big clubs but it did not happen. Many rumors came out about Calvert-Lewin’s move to United before the joining of Rasmus Hojlund last season. This season the move might happen but very unlikely because the Red Devils give more priority to young talents.
Then, we have Joshua Zirkzee from the Italian side of Bologna. Among all these strikers’ options, Joshua Zirkzee is someone, whose move will likely happen in the summer. Zirkzee caught the attention of big European clubs due to his brilliant last season performance with Bologna. Scored 12 goals and bagged 6 assists in 37 appearances in all competitions.
Manchester United have the last option for the striker position, that is Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres. The Sweden international had a remarkable season and had a goal contribution more than any other strikers that we have on the list. 57 goal contributions in just 50 games, including 43 goals for the Sporting CP.
