According to the latest reports from Sky Sport Germany, Manchester United are still actively searching for a new number nine this summer but have faced setbacks with key targets.
The club reportedly tried to enter the race for Hugo Ekitike, but the player had already made it clear at that stage that his only desire was to join Liverpool, where he is expected to undergo a medical today. With Ekitike now off the market, United have shifted their focus.
Attempts are still being made to bring Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson to Old Trafford. This pursuit is said to be driven by head coach Ruben Amorim’s preference for a striker with proven Premier League experience.
Meanwhile, a potential move for another target, Benjamin Šeško, now looks unlikely, with reports suggesting there is a “big chance” he will remain at RB Leipzig this season. This situation leaves Nicolas Jackson as the most prominent and active target for Manchester United’s striker position.
