Here's what our latest data and sources reveal... 🔍 Manchester United have recently enquired about Hugo Ekitike and Viktor Gyökeres for the No9 role. However, both targets bring complexities: • 💰 Ekitike’s value has surged following a 22-goal, 12-assist Bundesliga season, with Liverpool sealing his arrival for a fee rising toward €95M. Negotiations for United are now off, as the player is Liverpool-bound. • 🔄 Gyökeres is fresh off a 39-goal campaign, but Arsenal lead the chase, nearing an €80M deal--United enquired but aren’t advancing since Gyökeres’ camp has stated preference for the Gunners (@FabrizioRomano • Benjamin Sesko, Ollie Watkins, and Nicolas Jackson remain on United’s watchlist, but are not actively pursued due to high valuations. United retain flexibility should market prices shift downward. 📊 Strategic context: • United’s financial strategy is shaped by squad outgoings and wage bill relief--Marcus Rashford’s loan to Barcelona and recent sales have boosted budget efficiency. • FIFA/league rules play a subtle but crucial role: squad registration limits, Homegrown quotas, and PSR compliance influence every negotiation. 🏥 On squad health, Andre Onana is recovering from a hamstring issue but remains key and is expected back for the opener. 👀 Fun fact: If United do secure a striker from this shortlist, it could be their highest-valued centre-forward signing since Romelu Lukaku in 2017. With all this in play, there’s real room for debate on the best path forward. Which striker do you think Manchester United should prioritize signing this summer?
