Rashford is on his way out if someone is willing to bear much of the £325,000-a-week wage burden. Alejandro Garnacho is well on his way to Napoli (while Chelsea are also flirting with the disgruntled player). Ruben Amorim has done without the two players, but when we see the result, United’s remaining attacking players have anything but done well in the Premier League. More gunpowder must be brought in, and that already in January.
Several players are as usual linked to Manchester United, according to Daily Mail journalist Chris Weeler, the Red Devils have four attacking players (three in the Premier League) they are now following very closely.
Here is the list of candidates, where the big common denominator is: SCORING GOALS IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE.
Matheus Cunha, the Wolverhampton striker with 10 Premier League goals in 20 games. Six goals more than Zirkzee and Højlund combined.
Bryan Mbeumo, Brentford’s right winger/striker with 13 Premier League goals in 22 games. One fewer than Diallo, Garnacho, Zirkzee and Højlund combined.
Liam Delap, the Ipswich striker the same age as Hojlund. 8 Premier League goals in 21 games. Two more goals than United’s top scorer, Diallo.
Jonathan David is also on the list, the Lille player is on an expiring contract with 11 Ligue 1 goals in 18 games. Still, Manchester United need a striker who in recent months has shown they have cracked the code in front of opponents’ goals in the world’s toughest league.
