Manchester United continue to explore emerging attacking options as the transfer window heats up, with manager Ruben Amorim eager to inject youth and dynamism into his squad.
With the futures of several senior attackers still unresolved — including Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, and Antony — United are assessing young, high-potential players who can develop under the club’s new long-term vision.
The Reds have already made strides in reshaping their frontline, bringing in Matheus Cunha, and are still in the market for another wide forward who fits Amorim’s intense, fast-paced system.

Across the Premier League, several clubs are on the hunt for similar profiles, creating a fiercely competitive market for breakout talents on the continent.
Now, one Belgian starlet has become the centre of attention.
Malick Fofana has emerged as a major target for Manchester United, with the club joining the race for the Olympique Lyonnais winger amid growing interest from Chelsea, Liverpool, and Nottingham Forest.
The 20-year-old is highly rated in France and has been identified as a player Lyon are willing to cash in on, with the Ligue 1 side in deep financial trouble this summer.
According to L’Equipe, Chelsea are said to have already held informal discussions over a move, while Liverpool have reportedly stepped up their pursuit by entering talks with the winger’s new representatives.

Manchester United are also monitoring the situation closely, with Amorim understood to be a fan of Fofana’s pace, dribbling, and versatility in attacking roles.
Nottingham Forest remain interested, but their chances appear slim, with reports suggesting the Belgian prefers a move to a club with European ambitions and greater global stature.
Malick Fofana, who joined Lyon from Gent in January, made 21 appearances in the second half of the season and is now expected to be one of the biggest names to depart the French side this summer.
Having already lost Rayan Cherki to Manchester City earlier this month, Lyon could soon see another young gem head to the Premier League — and United may well be the ones to pounce.
