- Manchester United is gearing up for a crucial summer during their most disappointing Premier League campaign in history.
- The Red Devils have had a challenging season and are apparently planning significant additions to their team in an effort to correct their mistakes.
- They have narrowed down their options to four forwards they might bring onboard in the upcoming months to address their scoring problems.
Manchester United have reportedly drawn up a list of four strikers they could sign in the summer to solve their goalscoring problems.
The Red Devils have struggled to consistently find the back of the net with their first-choice centre-forward Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee finding it difficult.
Which player could Manchester United acquire?
Florian Plettenberg from Sky Sports reports that Manchester United intends to strengthen their offensive lineup this summer, with discussions already underway.
The club has pinpointed four players—namely Viktor Gyokeres, Victor Osimhen, Hugo Ekitike, and Benjamin Sesko—as top priorities.
The journalist further mentioned that the team plans to make significant acquisitions during the upcoming transfer window, with hopes that selling Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Kobe Mainsor could fund these moves.
The mentioned forwards are regarded as top talents globally and will undoubtedly come with a high price tag. Hence, the team must employ strategic thinking to secure one of these players.
Nevertheless, the concept of putting academy prospect Kobbie Mainoo up for sale does not resonate well with supporters. They have opposed this notion since it was initially proposed.
Hojlund ends goal drought
Manchester United has invested more than 100 million euros in Hojlund and Zirkzee, yet their goal-scoring consistency hasn’t been reliable. Combined, these players have managed to score 14 goals this season.
During the weekend, Hojlund broke his 22-hour goal drought by finding the back of the net against Leicester City in the Premier League match.
During the tough run, he endured relentless criticism from fans and it probably got to him. Club legend Peter Schmeichel was spotted in a video having a chat with his compatriot.
"I see it as a good step on the way, but I just want to keep improving and keep being better," he said after scoring against Leicester via MEN.
"I know I'm not finished the article or what you say over here, but I just want to keep going and keep becoming even better and I'm sure I'll get even better and score even more goals if I just focus on that," he added.
In this campaign, Manchester United find themselves occupying the 13th spot in the Premier League with a total of 37 goals scored so far. If they wish to secure a piece of silverware, their best bet lies in excelling at the Europa League; for this ambition to materialize, both Hojlund and Zirkzee must step up and begin finding the back of the net immediately.
"The issue seems to be with the entire team. This has been noticeable for some time, not just recently. We definitely lack both scoring objectives and offensive threats," stated Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim regarding the shortage of goals reported by GOAL.
