Man United are in the market for a new striker, although signing someone will be much easier said than done. They have interest in a number of options, but their shortlist is about to decrease by one.
After signing Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, Man United are hoping to complete their attacking trident by adding a new striker – given that head coach Ruben Amorim is unconvinced by Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee. The likes of Ollie Watkins, Benjamin Sesko and Nicolas Jackson are on their radar, but in the case of the latter, he will not be for much longer.
Man United not planning to sign Nicolas Jackson this summer
As per Football Insider, Mick Brown has revealed that Man United are expected to end their interest in Jackson, given that they have no intention of playing Chelsea’s asking price for the Senegalese striker.
“No, I wouldn’t expect that one to happen. I would be very, very surprised if Man United signed Jackson. There are concerns about his temperament and the mental side of his game, and I don’t think he’s consistent enough on the pitch to overrule those concerns.
“If Chelsea are looking to get rid of him, that tells you whether he’s good enough for United. I don’t think he’s the type of striker they need, and they’ll be looking at their other options. Especially when you consider the price it would take to get him out of Chelsea.
“I expect he’s on a long contract there like all of his teammates, so they’re not going to let him go on the cheap, and definitely not to Man United. For the money it would take to get him, there are better players they could bring in. He hasn’t done anything at Chelsea that would make him the ideal man for United.”
man united in Jackson 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
why not ? They already have enough donkeys to open a sanctuary
Please, Manchester United, concentrate on your targets and get them signed without too much dilly-dallying.
Otherwise, the targets will be easily bought by rival clubs in no time. Remember Viktor Gyokeres and Liam Delap!!!!!!
Please buy Benjamin Sesko when comparing with Ollie Watkins, as the former is still young and has a much longer runway. He may lack Premier League affinity and experience but being young, he can adapt faster and become a trusted and reliable forward.
Ruben Amorim should be able to assimilate himinto the team and get him to play good attacking football ⚽️.
Rasmus Hojlund is also young and can be given time to adapt and grow. same with Zirkzee. Young strikers like Sesko. Practically same build and style. ManUtd need the experience of a Watkins who would disperse the pressure on the young guys.
