Manchester United are already looking to make major moves in the transfer market following another underwhelming season.
Rasmus Hojlund endured a turbulent campaign at Old Trafford, with moments of promise overshadowed by long barren spells in front of goal.
While the Red Devils remain publicly supportive of the young Dane, behind the scenes, there is a growing acceptance that another striker is needed to share the burden.

United have identified multiple attacking options across Europe, and with Champions League football out of reach, they know they must act decisively to avoid missing out.
Now, one of the Bundesliga’s most exciting forwards has emerged as a key target for the club.
Hugo Ekitike, who has lit up the German top flight with Eintracht Frankfurt this season, is attracting serious interest from Premier League giants including Manchester United.
The 22-year-old French striker has scored 22 goals and provided 12 assists in all competitions, putting him firmly on the radar of top clubs across Europe.
According to Caught Offside, United have already held positive talks with the player’s representatives and are planning a formal offer ahead of the summer window.

The report claims that United are further along in their internal planning than rivals Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle, all of whom are also keeping a close eye on the situation.
Hugo Ekitike is admired for his pace, composure, and ability to link play, and could be viewed as an immediate upgrade or strong competition for Hojlund.
Eintracht Frankfurt are open to selling, but only for a substantial fee, with €80–90 million the expected asking price.
That hasn’t deterred interest, and United are believed to be preparing a €60 million opening bid to test the waters.
The Frenchman’s camp are now weighing up their options as one of Europe’s most high-profile summer transfers begins to take shape.
With manager Ruben Amorim keen to bolster his attacking options, Ekitike could soon be leading the line at Old Trafford.
