Rasmus Hojlund lastly broke his Premier League drought however Manchester United stay linked with signing a brand new ahead this month.
The 20-time league winner’s struggles in entrance of aim are well-documented, and though Hojlund value £72 million (Sky Sports activities) in the summertime, the 20-year-old has only one league aim to his identify.
Consequently, with Erik Ten Hag trying to qualify for the Champions League, the membership are anticipated to pursue an extra striker, even whether it is only a short-term mortgage deal.
And in response to switch journalist Dean Jones, who participant who has been ‘proposed as an possibility’ is Bayern Munich’s Eric Choupo-Moting.
“I don’t assume the Choupo-Moting curiosity has simply cropped up out of nowhere,” he informed GiveMeSport.
“I feel he’s been proposed as an possibility and United are having to be open-minded on this window about how they add depth. My impression is that the participant is eager on the concept of this one – the issue can be whether or not it could possibly genuinely take form from each ends.
“He’s acquired two targets for Bayern Munich and is simply a back-up to Harry Kane, so there’s purpose to consider Bayern’s board could possibly be satisfied into letting him go – particularly as his contract runs out quickly.
However whether or not Thomas Tuchel desires to be left with out another choice in assault is one other factor. I definitely assume Choupo-Moting can be extra right into a transfer to United than somebody like Timo Werner.
“It’s fascinating that each these Bundesliga choices are being thought of and despite the fact that Choupo-Moting has a little bit of a popularity in England as a little bit of a joke, he’s an excellent participant who would possibly truly be very useful of their scenario.”
Jones isn’t unsuitable both — Choupo-Moting, though nonetheless making an attempt to place his disappointing spell with Stoke Metropolis behind him, has a good file for the Bavarians — the Cameroonian has averaged one aim in lower than each three video games, nevertheless, though he’s set to develop into a free agent on the finish of the season, his age, which can see him flip 35-years-old in March, can be a priority for any membership enthusiastic about pursuing a deal.
