Manchester United seeks "9": 10 options on the radar

Manchester United is clear that it needs to strengthen its attack for the 2025/26 season and has compiled a list of ten possible signings for the center-forward position. Among the names being considered by the board are Liam Delap, Alexander Isak, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Victor Boniface, Harry Kane, Dusan Vlahovic, Victor Osimhen, Benjamin Sesko, and Jonathan David. The lack of offensive effectiveness has been one of the main problems for the team this season, prompting the board to explore various alternatives in the transfer market.

The performances of Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee have not lived up to expectations, despite the club investing over £100 million in them. Given this situation, Ruben Amorim's arrival at the Red Devils' bench reinforces the urgency to find a forward who can guarantee at least 20 goals per season. United aims to avoid past mistakes and seeks a proven goal scorer who can make a difference in crucial moments.

One of the standout names is Liam Delap, who has impressed at Ipswich Town. Developed in Manchester City's youth academy, his progression has been remarkable, and his contract with the English club extends until 2029, potentially complicating a transfer. Similarly, Alexander Isak has proven his worth with Newcastle, but his £120 million price tag could be a significant obstacle for United.

Jean-Philippe Mateta, on the other hand, has shone at Crystal Palace, notably with decisive performances like his brace against Manchester United at Old Trafford. The French player has scored 15 goals in all competitions, becoming an interesting option due to his Premier League experience. Meanwhile, Victor Boniface has been vital at Bayer Leverkusen, and his potential summer departure is one of the possibilities being considered by Old Trafford's board.

The return of Harry Kane to England is also on the table. Although he currently plays for Bayern Munich, his contract includes a clause allowing him to leave in 2026 for a fee close to £54 million. His quality and Premier League experience make him an appealing option for the Red Devils.

Other alternatives include Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, a young forward with great potential who could be acquired for £70 million, and Dusan Vlahovic, whose future at Juventus seems uncertain following a standstill in contract negotiations. Additionally, Napoli appears willing to part ways with Victor Osimhen, whose contract includes a £75 million release clause.

Lastly, Jonathan David from Lille emerges as a viable option since his contract expires in 2025, facilitating a potential move. With several options on the table, Manchester United must choose wisely to strengthen its attack and regain competitiveness in the elite of English football.
