The Red Devils have a new goal after the signings of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.
Manchester United are not stopping their ambitious planning to strengthen the squad and are already working on bringing in a new centre-forward. After completing the transfer of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford for almost €80 million, the Old Trafford club has put the spotlight on three attacking players to bolster their attack: Nicolás Jackson, Benjamin Šeško and Ollie Watkins.

Sporting management is clear that they need more offensive options, especially if any of the possible player exits such as Garnacho, Sancho, Rashford or Antony materialize. This will give them financial leeway for a bigger signing.
Manchester United are looking for a new centre-forward
Nicolás Jackson emerges as an interesting option due to his current situation at Chelsea. The 24-year-old Senegalese has lost his prominence following the arrivals of Liam Delap and João Pedro, and could therefore be open to a change of club. With a contract until 2033, he comes from a season where he scored 13 goals in 37 games, but his dynamic profile and running ability make him attractive to Ruben Amorim.
Another option is Benjamin Šeško, the promising striker from RB Leipzig. The 22-year-old Slovenian has established himself in the Bundesliga with 21 goals in 45 games and represents an investment for the future due to his development potential. His contract with the German club runs until 2029, which could drive up the transfer fee.
The third option is Ollie Watkins, a more experienced striker who comes from a demanding season with Aston Villa, where he made 54 appearances and scored 17 goals. The 29-year-old Englishman, who is under contract until 2028, brings physical presence, back-to-goal play and efficiency in the box.
United carefully consider these options to select the player who best suits the team’s needs in a season where the demands will be high.
