Erik ten Hag has informed Manchester United, despite ties with various goal scorers, when he wants the team to recruit a new striker.
The current center-forward for Manchester United is Wout Weghorst, who is on loan from Burnley. Weghorst has started the majority of Manchester United’s recent games because Anthony Martial is injured and prefers to play on the left flank.
The 30-year-work old’s ethic and teamwork have impressed Ten Hag. But, his track record for scoring goals is far from stellar.
Weghorst has made 18 appearances for Manchester United but has only scored twice. Even though these numbers might improve following the international break, it is obvious that Ten Hag needs a more productive attacker to captain his forward line the following year.
Harry Kane, the symbol of Tottenham, is highly valued by Ten Hag. After firing Antonio Conte, Spurs will end the campaign without a trophy for the second consecutive year and are also looking for a new manager.
Kane might leave Tottenham if the team is unwilling to be ambitious enough to replace Conte. Manchester United will be prepared to make a massive £100 million offer if this occurs, although it is unclear if this will be enough to persuade Daniel Levy to sell.
Another effective striker whose price tag is around £100 million is Napoli’s Victor Osimhen. He has acknowledged his desire to play in the Premier League, but Manchester United will need to exert significant pressure to persuade Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis to release him.
If negotiations for those two players fall through, Benfica’s Goncalo Ramos may be the replacement. He is “very disappointed,” the Portuguese media reports, with Benfica for taking so long to finalize his new contract. And this might give Manchester United a big advantage in their search for him.
An update on the acquisition of Manchester United and the striker plans
A report on the Manchester United takeover situation by ESPN has some intriguing details regarding Ten Hag’s transfer goals.
It begins by claiming that the new offers from Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe total about £4.5 billion. This is less than the £6 billion valuation provided by the Glazer family. There is, however, still a chance that the ownership will change.
The Manchester United staff has been instructed to anticipate “clarity” regarding the situation by the season’s finish.
Ten Hag in particular will be anxiously awaiting the results of the takeover race. When the club’s preseason tour of the United States kicks off in July, he wants a “top-class striker” to arrive at Old Trafford, he has informed club executives.
This, in Ten Hag’s opinion, will give the new attacker ample time to adjust to life at Manchester United and establish a successful partnership with Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes.
Manchester United will have the strongest chance to challenge teams like Arsenal and Manchester City for the Premier League championship the following season thanks to this.
