Man United may not have to search far for a new striker. Germany’s Nick Woltemade is proving to be a standout alternative to Liam Delap.
Woltemade Could Be the Missing Piece in Man United Frontline
Manchester United are desperate for attacking firepower for the next season. Last campaign, they only managed 44 goals in the Premier League. Only Everton and the relegated sides had lower numbers.
Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee combined in with just seven goals between them. The Red Devils have already brought in Wolves midfielder Matheus Cunha to add some spark. But a true No. 9 is still missing. With Liam Delap heading to Chelsea, Utd’s striker search continues.
But they may not need to look far this summer window. Germany’s Nick Woltemade is making serious noise at the European U21 Championship. The 6’6″ forward scored four goals in his first two tournament games, including a stunning hat-trick against Slovenia.
Meanwhile, Woltemade also netted 17 goals for Stuttgart last season. He helped them to a DFB Pokal win and earned a call-up to Germany’s senior squad too.
A Budget Kane-Like Talent United Can’t Ignore
Woltemade’s skills makes him an top match for Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system. With height, strength, and finishing ability, he will be a great partner for Cunha and possible target Bryan Mbeumo.
The German forward’s playing style is similar to that of Harry Kane. Though some see aspects of Diogo Jota and Lautaro Martinez within his playing style. All of this is great for a 23-year-old player with big size with top skills.
Additionally, he’s reportedly available for just £34.2m. That is a bargain for someone with such potential. Man Utd are serious about fixing their goal-scoring woes. Given that, Woltemade offers a mix of talent, form, and value that’s hard to ignore. The Red Devils might just have their next star striker hiding in plain sight.
