Manchester United are keeping tabs on 30-year-old striker Vincent Aboubakar as a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Aboubakar is currently playing for Al-Nassr out in Saudi Arabia, the club Ronaldo has recently signed for. The Cameroonian’s game time could be limited due to the introduction of Ronaldo who will undoubtedly be starting every single game after his big-money move.
Now, according to the Daily Mail, Manchester United are considering a move for Aboubakar as they look to find a replacement for Ronaldo. United’s attacking options are very limited at the moment, so it’s no surprise to see them in the market for a striker during the January transfer window.
A new attacker could be a priority for Manchester United, but their fans may have been hoping to have been linked to more exciting, younger players rather than the likes of Aboubakar.
However, signing players in January can sometimes be difficult, so Aboubakar brought in as a stopgap before bringing in a big name during the summer transfer window.
It’s no disrespect to Aboubakar, who has scored goals almost everywhere he goes, but it’s not the marquee striker signing United fans may have hoped for.
