Manchester United launches five-star casting for their attack

Manchester United will go on the attack. This winter, the residents of Old Trafford have a priority: to recruit a number 9. Indeed, last summer, Erik ten Hag had already asked for attacking reinforcements and his leaders had offered him Antony. This winter, the Dutch technician will again ask his bosses to get their hands on the wallet. After the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Mancunians will need an additional striker. Ten Hag, who relies in particular on elements like Marcus Rashford, Antony and Anthony Martial, has also confirmed this.

Ten Hag wants to replace CR7

“We are aware that we have lost a striker, so I think we have to sign one, but it has to be the right one. He will bring quality to the team and not just be an addition to the squad, because that only brings problems. » For a long time, the Mancunian coach like his club and the British press were convinced that Cody Gakpo would be this player. But yesterday, the Red Devils were overtaken by Liverpool, which formalized the arrival of the Dutch international from PSV Eindhoven. A snub for Manchester United. But the English team is far from having said its last word.

As Ten Hag reminded, recruiting a striker is necessary this winter in order to achieve all the objectives. And if the DailyMail indicates that MU do not want to splurge as the club has been put up for sale and that loans will be preferred, The Sun has other information. The British tabloid has drawn up the list of players on whom the Mancunian team will go after the failure of the Gakpo track. And there are very nice people. In the lead, we find Gonçalo Ramos (21 years old). For a while now, the Portuguese has been targeted. As good in club as in selection, the Benfica player conquered everyone at Man U.

Five tracks in mind

But not only. The PSG is also on the spot. To afford it, you will have to break the bank, since its release clause is set at 120 million euros. And maybe more because Benfica is trying to extend its lease until 2026 to sell it better. His compatriot João Félix (23) is also targeted. The Portuguese wants to leave Atlético de Madrid, where he no longer gets along with Diego Simeone. Recently, AS explained that the Colchoneros, who wanted to recover between 130 and 140 million euros, were not against a loan with an option to buy this winter. A solution that can do the business of Mancunians.

The Sun also advances the names of Memphis Depay (28 years old). At the end of the contract in June, the Dutchman wants to leave free. But Barça wants to try to recover a small ticket in passing. Anyway, his profile appeals to Ten Hag, who had already proposed his name last summer. It would be an interesting operation financially, with a player who could have a second chance at MU. Finally, the English media cites the names of Youssouf Moukoko (18), at the end of the contract at BVB, and Dusan Vlahovic (22), whom Juventus is ready to let go. The casting for the Mnachester United attack is well and truly open!
