Man United are in desperate need of a new striker this summer. They are linked with big names across whole Europe. Now, the Red Devils are showing strong interest in English striker but need to sell their current striker first.
Manchester United are keen to land a new striker this summer. They ended the 2024/25 season with only 44 goals in Premier League. Hence, Ruben Amorim is not convinced with both Hojlund and Zirkzee. He wants a proven striker who can score on regular basis.
United have been linked with multiple big strikers so far. But, they are finding it hard to convince them to join due to their absence in European competitions. They have already lost Liam Delap and are on verge of losing Gyokeres. Hence, they have turned their attention to 29 year old English striker.
The star in question here is Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa. The 29 year old has been main striker for Villa since long-time and is now a regular member in England national team too. He ended the 2024/25 season with 17 goals and 14 assists for Villa. But, the Birmingham club can be forced to sell him due to their PSR situation.
Man United showing strong interest in Ollie Watkins
According to Caught Offside, United are showing strong interest in Watkins. They view him as a key target for this summer. But, the report adds that the Red Devils need to get rid of Hojlund first. The Danish striker is wanted by Serie A clubs where he looked good before joining United.
Watkins can be a very good addition to the United squad. He has a vast experience of playing in Premier League. Hence, the 29 year old can have an instant impact on the squad. He will surely not be a long-term investment but cam help United for 2-3 years. He can help them to get back at top level in that time.
