Man United want another striker as Jadon Sancho remains target for PSG

August 8, 2024

Man United are reportedly looking to further bolster their attack despite already bringing in a new striker.

The Red Devils made Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee their first summer signing after agreeing to a £36.5 million deal with Bologna.

The Netherlands international is set to provide cover and competition for Rasmus Hojlund after the 21-year-old led United’s attack alone last season.

Now with Zirkzee as part of the squad and handed the team’s iconic number 11 shirt, the 23-year-old is primed to make his club debut during Saturday’s Community Shield against rivals Manchester City.

Despite having Zirkzee and Hojlund among his attacking options, Erik Ten Hag, according to a recent report from Football Insider, is keen to sign another striker.

Although the Dutchman recently revealed backup plans to use Jadon Sancho as a striker, the winger could be sold before the start of the season.

The 24-year-old endured an up-and-down campaign last season. A public falling out with his manager forced a loan move back to Borussia Dortmund, and although the pair have since put their differences aside, United appear eager to offload the troublesome wide-man.

Paris Saint-Germain, who are continuing to identify players to replace the recently departed Kylian Mbappe, are believed to be working on a deal. The Ligue 1 giants could offer the former City academy graduate a chance to reignite his career.
