‘Desperate’ Man Utd to ‘blow City away’ with striker raid as European side ‘to accept £60m’ for top target | OneFootball

Randal Kolo Muani is one of Man Utd's striker targets.

According to reports, Man Utd are aware that they need to sign a ‘marquee striker’ to ‘close the gap’ between themselves and Manchester City.

United have improved since Erik ten Hag joined the club last summer. Under him, they finished third in the Premier League and he also helped them win the Carabao Cup in his first season in charge.

Man City meanwhile won the treble as they lifted the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup.

Man Utd ended up 14 points adrift of their local rivals in the Premier League so they need to strengthen this summer to close in on the treble winners.

Ten Hag is well aware of this and he is understood to be pushing United into signing several players before next season. Former Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana has emerged as a likely candidate to replace David De Gea, while they remain in talks with Chelsea over the signing of Mason Mount.

But with it looking likely that Wout Weghorst and Anthony Martial will be playing elsewhere next season, the head coach’s priority is to sign one or two new strikers.

Football Insider are reporting that ‘United have set their sights on a marquee number nine to blow Man City away’.

The Red Devils are ‘desperate’ to land a new striker as ‘club chiefs are aware an established number nine is needed to close the gap to treble-winning rivals Man City’.

United are unwilling to become embroiled in a saga for Tottenham star Harry Kane and ‘negotiations have gone quiet’ between the two Premier League clubs.

Bayern Munich have now submitted an official bid for the Englishman, who has ‘agreed’ to join the German giants. The report adds.

Last week, it was reported that Man Utd are facing competition from Bayern Munich for Muani, who grabbed 15 goals and 11 assists in the Bundesliga last season.
