Manchester United transfer gossip
1) Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)
A player linked with United in the past, Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski could be back on the club’s radar this summer, according to recent claims from the Daily Telegraph, which would surely be a good move for the Red Devils as they look for improved options in attack after Falcao’s disappointing season.
2) Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)
A world class striker who has proven himself in a long and successful career with Real Madrid, Karim Benzema is another who’d make a great buy for United if they rival the likes of Liverpool for his signature this summer, with suggestions he may be available.
3) Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)
A young striker enjoying a superb season for Tottenham Hotspur, Harry Kane looks ready to make the step up to a bigger club like United and could make a real upgrade on the highy disappointing Falcao upfront.
4) Jackson Martinez (Porto)
Linked with United in the past, Porto goal machine Jackson Martinez is surely set to make the step up to a bigger club at the end of this season, and looks ready to try his luck at Old Trafford after his great scoring record in Portugal.
5) Alexandre Lacazette (Lyon)
Wanted by Arsenal, Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette is another promising young striker who’d make a much better investment than Falcao upfront, having shown lethal form in front of goal in Ligue 1 this season.
