Manchester United spent big on sign Rasmus Hojlund in the summer but, with Anthony Martial as back-up, we are not one bit surprised to see the club linked with more strikers in the transfer market.
This is not a dig at Hojlund because the 20-year-old has done brilliantly since joining United, despite feeding on scraps in terms of service. He still has five goals to his name in Europe and currently tops the scoring charts in the Champions League.
Erik ten Hag should be looking to sign another striker in the transfer window – and probably one with experience, but not someone set to retire at the same time. We’ve signed experienced strikers like Radamel Falcao, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani in the past, therefore, know from past experience that it rarely goes to plan.
I would not be surprised if United signed a relatively cheap striker in January to bring some experience and extra firepower to the attacking department. Let’s face it, Martial looks like a man that has given up.
Apparently is being considered at United, as per Inter Live, who state Inter Milan’s plans to sign Mehdi Taremi have suffered a setback due to interest from the Premier League giants.
The FC Porto striker is also a target for United, who were linked with the Iran international during the summer. Inter Live claim Erik ten Hag’s objective would be to get an ‘experienced centre-forward’ like Taremi to ‘lighten the load of responsibility’ on Hojlund.
Furthermore, United could ‘offer €10m for his contract in January’, on top of a salary of €4.5m/year after tax.
Taremi, 31, has five goals and three assists to his name so far this season.
The Daily Mail named the Iran international as a potential striker target along with Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney.
