MANCHESTER UNITED reportedly have a four-man shortlist of strikers they hope to sign in the summer.
The Red Devils’ current hitmen Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have toiled in front of goal this season, finding the back of the net a combined 14 times.
Skipper Bruno Fernandes is United’s top goalscorer this season having scored 16 times in 44 appearances.
New United gaffer Ruben Amorim was interested in signing a new frontman in the January window but the club opted against a big-money signing to PSR rules.
But the Portuguese is set to try to sign a new striker in the summer, with four names, according to Sky Germany, on his wishlist.
It’s claimed Viktor Gyokeres – who Amorim managed at Sporting Lisbon – is on the four-man list.
United are also said to be weighing up moves for Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko, who play for Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig respectively.
The list is said to be rounded out by Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, who is currently on loan in Turkey with Galatasaray.
Sweden international Gyokores has by far been the most prolific of the quartet this season, bagging a whopping 40 goals in all competitions.
France Under-21 international Ekitike has found the back of the net 19 times this campaign, while Slovenian striker Sesko has 17 goals to his name.
Nigeria international Osimhen has shone during his loan spell in Turkey, bagging 26 goals this campaign.
United will have to pay top dollar to acquire the services of the strikers on their reported four-man shortlist.
And that could prove to be difficult given the financial constraints they’ll be under for the next five years as they build their new stadium.
United will be back in action on April Fool’s Day, travelling to the City Ground to take on Nottingham Forest.
