Man United are in urgent need of a new striker. They have been linked with multiple players including one English striker. The player ended the current season with 31 goal contributions. The latest reports say that the Red Devils are now steeping up their interest to sign him.
Manchester United are in desperate need of a new striker. They managed to score only 44 goals in Premier League last season. As a result, they ended on 15th position in the league. Hence, a new striker is looked upon as top priority.
Ruben Amorim is not impressed with both Hojlund and Zirkzee. Hence, the former Serie A strikers can get sold to make up space and raise funds. Amorim wants a striker who is well proven and scores on regular basis. As of now, they have some of the top strikers linked with summer move.
Man United stepping up interest in English striker
One of the players linked with United is Ollie Watkins. He is 29 years old and plays for Aston Villa. Watkins has been very good in recent seasons due to which he is a regular for England national team. Last season, he scored 17 goals and picked 14 assist for Villa in 54 games.
According to Fichajes, United are stepping up their interest in Watkins. The report adds that Villa can be forced to sell him due to their PSR situation. The 29 year old will find it tempting to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world. But, Villa will surely demand a hefty fee for him.
🚨Aston Villa is in huge PSR problems and need to sell fast.

Watkins will surely come as a very good addition to United squad. He is in peak of his career and his experience in Premier League will make him instant impact maker for Red Devils. Ruben Amorim will be able to resolve their goal scoring issue immediately with Watkins leading their attacking unit.
