The Manchester United captain admits that with the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, the “Red Devils” need a new striker for the rest of the season. Victor Osimhen is a name that has been targeted by MU in recent times. The Nigerian player is a true striker and can help Ten Hag solve problems in attack.
Osimhen has been key in Napoli’s play this season. Despite missing the start of the season due to injury, he still scored 10 goals in 14 appearances in all competitions. The speed, power and ability to contribute to the team’s overall play make the striker born in 1998 a top target for many big clubs. The 23-year-old has a contract with Napoli until June 2025 and is priced at more than £100 million.
Goncalo Ramos is another target linked to MU during the January 2023 winter market. The Portuguese striker left his mark in the 2022 World Cup with a hat-trick against Switzerland in the round of 16. In the Benfica shirt, Ramos also scored 9 goals after 11 matches in the league since the beginning of the season.
At the age of 21, Ramos will definitely make the teams who want to recruit him to spend a large amount of money. Benfica president Rui Costa recently confirmed that the striker born in 2001 will not be sold unless a club pays a release fee of up to 103 million pounds.
Joao Felix is also a name considered by the MU leadership to strengthen the attack. The Portuguese striker is likely to leave Atletico Madrid right in the upcoming transfer window. He is said to have negotiated with MU and Arsenal.
Atletico Madrid are ready to let Felix switch to the Premier League to play. However, the terms of the contract are a big problem between the Spanish club and the two representatives of English football. Atletico want to loan the player out for a fee of around £6.5m with an option to buy outright worth more than £100m.
MU is said to have considered recruiting a right winger in the near future. Denzel Dumfries is on the transfer list of “Red Devils”. Coach Ten Hag is no stranger to the ability of the Dutch player.
The 26-year-old played impressively in the 2022 World Cup and is considered one of the top wing-backs of European football at the moment. If he comes to Old Trafford, Dumfries will help MU’s ability to attack on the right side significantly improve. Inter Milan are said to have bid Dumfries around £40-50 million.
