متحد boss Ruben Amorim, who recently welcomed Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo into the squad for combined fees of £135 million ($183m), had hoped to further sharpen his frontline. The duo had an impressive collective return of 35 الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز goals last season, but with United having scored just 44 league goals in total during the previous campaign, Amorim remains keen to add a more traditional centre-forward.
According to ESPN despite the big-money arrivals, the lack of a reliable No. 9 continues to be a glaring concern. While the scouting team continues evaluating other options, there is no assurance that a striker will be signed before the deadline. Tangible progress appears limited, and the club is now operating with an air of realism that they might need to move forward with their current squad unless a breakthrough materialises soon.
There has been growing speculation surrounding Højlund’s future, with Italian giants Inter Milan and Juventus reportedly exploring the possibility of bringing him back to الدوري الإيطالي. Despite this, sources close to the club have suggested that the 22-year-old Danish striker is determined to stay and prove himself under Amorim’s leadership as he still has three years remaining on his current contract.
With each passing day, United are under pressure to resolve their striker woes. A possible exchange deal with Chelsea, where Nicolas Jackson could make his way to Old Trafford in return for Alejandro Garnacho, is being mooted, but talks are still in preliminary stages, and it remains to be seen whether the two clubs can agree on terms.
