Manchester United's urgent need for a prolific goalscorer is glaringly evident when analyzing the current season stats of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee. Hojlund, the Danish forward, has managed only eight goals, while Dutchman Zirkzee has netted six times. The former Atalanta prodigy recently broke a 99-day Premier League goal drought but seems more comfortable playing in an attacking midfield role than as a pure striker.
In response, Ruben Amorim has made acquiring a striker his top priority for the upcoming transfer window. While hoping for a reunion with Viktor Gyokeres, who prefers Champions League football—a likely unattainable goal at Old Trafford—Amorim has turned his attention to Napoli's Victor Osimhen. Currently loaned to Galatasaray, the Nigerian has been sensational in the Turkish league with 26 goals and five assists. Napoli is expected to part ways with Osimhen after the season, despite Gala's desire to retain him, hindered by financial constraints.
