Manchester United are eyeing Nigerian star Ademola Lookman
Manchester United need to strengthen their attack and need a world-class presence in that position. The Red Devils have struggled for goals this season, which has been a major cause behind their poor performance this season. Marcus Rashford is on loan at Aston Villa and Antony is on loan at Real Betis. Both of them are likely to leave the club permanently in the summer.
Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have also not been in the best of form. Hence, Tuttomercatoweb has reported that United want to sign Atalanta attacker Ademola Lookman in the summer. The 27-year-old Nigerian has been in sensational form in the Serie A and has attracted the attention of a lot of clubs.

Lookman has scored 13 goals in 23 matches so far in the Serie A 2024/2025 season. Overall, his goals scored per 90 minutes is 0.7. Moreover, Lookman’s total G/A (goals + assists) is 18 for this season. His goal involvement equates to 0.97 per 90 minutes. The Nigerian’s non-penalty xG per 90 minutes is 0.66. Atalanta would be ready to sell him for €60 million (£50m).
Lookman is a winger who brings flair and fire to the pitch. The Atalanta man is not the tallest but possesses good pace and nimble footwork that make him a menace. He is a good dribbler, which makes him skip past defenders with cheeky flicks and sharp turns. His right foot’s a rocket, smashing goals from distance, while his vision crafts chances others don’t see.

Amorim needs a reliable striker.
Lookman’s work rate is relentless; he tracks back with grit, blending hustle with skill. Now 27, he’s hitting his prime at Atalanta, where his Europa League hat-trick heroics showed the world what he’s got. Dynamic, clever, and clutch—Lookman is a proper game-changer.

Will it be a good move?
The forward does not have a good experience in the Premier League, as he flopped during his stints at Everton, Fulham, and Leicester City. United fans should be happy about the Ademola Lookman rumors. Tuttomercatoweb says they are after the 27-year-old Atalanta star this summer, and honestly, it feels like a no-brainer.
He is tearing up Serie A with goals and flair—exactly what their attack’s been missing. £50m for a Nigerian in sensational form? That’s a steal if he brings that magic to Old Trafford. Amorim has to make this happen; United need a spark!
