Manchester United are expected to be one of the busiest clubs in the summer transfer window as Ruben Amorim begins his first full campaign in charge.
A number of high-profile names are being linked with a move to Old Trafford, particularly in attack where reinforcements are a top priority.
With concerns about depth behind Rasmus Hojlund, the need for a top-class centre-forward has grown more urgent.

Despite financial constraints, United remain determined to land a marquee signing to lead their front line next season.
Now, reports emerging from Italy suggest that Manchester United are willing to offload Joshua Zirkzee in an ambitious attempt to land Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, United are evaluating a proposal that would see Joshua Zirkzee included in a player-plus-cash deal for Osimhen, whose €75m price tag remains a sticking point for the Red Devils.
The report claims that Garnacho is no longer of interest to Napoli, with the winger enjoying his off-season in Rome — a sign that earlier rumours involving him have now cooled.

Zirkzee, who has shown flashes of quality under Amorim, previously made a strong impression during his time in Italy, and that history could sway Napoli’s stance.
While there’s been no formal bid submitted yet, United are reportedly exploring ways to make the deal viable without breaching financial fair play constraints.
Osimhen’s recent rejection of a lucrative move to Al-Hilal has further increased confidence that he wants to remain in Europe’s top five leagues.
Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the Nigerian striker has no interest in leaving Europe just yet, giving United and other clubs fresh hope of pulling off a blockbuster move.
Still, with other suitors lurking, United may need to act fast — or risk losing out on one of the most lethal forwards in world football.
Amorim will be hoping that the club’s flexibility in negotiations gives them an edge in what’s set to be a fiercely contested summer pursuit.
