Manchester United are still looking at the possibility of adding a new forward to their squad this summer.
The Red Devils have prioritised a midfield rebuild and so far have signed Andrey Santos from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa, while goalkeeper Karl Darlow and young winger Tynan Thompson have also arrived.
But the club are still pushing to make more additions for Michael Carrick as they prepare to return to the Champions League, and bolstering their forward line to ensure they're not short on numbers in what they hope will be a long season remains something they have on their list of wants for the summer transfer window.
Man Utd Eyeing Conceicao

According to Fussball Daten, Man Utd have a strong interest in Juventus winger Francisco Conceicao.
Conceicao, who has been described as a 'diamond', was one of Portugal's better performers in a disappointing World Cup campaign this summer, and has enjoyed a good spell at Juventus since joining from FC Porto in 2024, scoring 11 goals in 82 appearances.
The Portugal international has now emerged as a target for RB Leipzig as they look to replace Yan Diomande, who is on the verge of a stunning £100m+ move to Real Madrid, and it's believed they are ready to pay around €50m (£43m) to take him to the Bundesliga.
However, it's reported that Man Utd have been in close contact with the player's camp about a move to Old Trafford. No formal offer has been made at this stage, but he is among the names being considered as United look to bolster their attack. Personal terms would not be expected to be an issue, either.
United were looking at a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville before Al Hilal joined the race and gazumped everyone by agreeing a £65m+ deal with West Ham. While Man Utd are keen to add to their attack, the future of Marcus Rashford may yet prove influential in any formal moves being made.

Man Utd need an injection of pace in their attack, and someone who can play on either wing, take a man on and be a goal threat would be ideal.
Conceicao ticks all of those boxes, and at £43m he would be a value signing in this market. An attack consisting of Rashford, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Amad, Benjamin Sesko, and potentially Joshua Zirkzee would provide plenty of options for the manager to choose from, and plenty of quality to win games.
United will have to be alert to his situation if they're serious, because Leipzig will want to get a deal over the line quickly. But Bruno Fernandes knows the winger well, which may help swing things in their favour, and this is one to watch in the coming weeks.
