Manchester United’s biggest problem (there are many) is their inability to score goals. The owners who have now kicked money on the canteen will spend big money this summer.
Manchester United are preparing a gigantic bid for French striker Hugo Ekitike
The Reds are interested in signing the French striker from Frankfurt.
Manchester United have put in place the procedures to secure one of the most sought-after strikers on the market: Hugo Ekitike. The English club considers the French striker a priority in its offensive reinforcement plan and is already working on a formula to overcome the high price set by Eintracht Frankfurt. The “Red Devils” want to structure an offer that combines money with the inclusion of a player from their own squad.

Ekitike has had a season that has caught the attention of several major European clubs, with numbers that place him as one of the most complete attackers in German football. His future potential and performances have led Frankfurt to set a high price tag of around €100 million, an amount that has scared away other interested parties such as Chelsea and Liverpool, but not Manchester United.
Hugo Ekitike, the new goal for Manchester United
At Old Trafford, they believe that negotiating with alternatives could be key and they are considering proposing a transfer that includes one of their own attackers. Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee are possible names on the table, although their availability and willingness to leave the club is still unknown.
Ruben Amorim’s side have not yet made formal contact with Frankfurt, but they have already shown clear signs that they want to lead the race for the French striker. The competition will not be easy, as other clubs can express interest if conditions change.
United’s strategy is to act quickly to secure a rising talent and avoid a bidding round that could drive the price up further. In the coming days, the English club is expected to make a concrete offer to officially start negotiations.
