In the space of three Premier League games, everything has changed. Ruben Amorim would say it is the result of hard work since he took over the management at Manchester United, but for the supporters, victories against Sunderland, arch-rivals Liverpool at Anfield and Brighton have created the belief that now, really also means NOW! Although reinforcements will now primarily be brought in to the midfield, Man Utd will not stop at positioning themselves in the next signing battle for the striker who can take United to new glory.
Benjamin Sesko has been put to work, Hojlund is bought by Napoli and Joshua Zirzkee is likely to disappear in January. According to the major newspaper Mundo Deportivo, the Red Devils have set their sights on 22-year-old Karl Etta Eyong, who is impressing in La Liga. When the buyout clause is “only” 40 million euros for clubs outside Spain, this becomes extra interesting.

We have seen how Bryan Mbeumo’s speed, power, technique and firm finishing have lifted the United attack considerably, more of the same has United found in Mbeumo’s compatriot and teammate on the Cameroonian national team.
Eyong has six goals and three assists for Levante in ten La Liga games, following his transfer from Villareal on deadline day. For United and Amrorim, it is an extra plus that the 22-year-old delivers at the top, as from midfield.
Manchester United will not come alone. According to the Spanish media, Manchester City, Arsenal, Barcelona and Real Madrid also have Eyong on the block.
