Man United is reportedly interested in acquiring Mauro Icardi on loan in the month of January, as reported by Football Transfers.

This surprising move was undertaken in the context of Erik ten Hag’s desperate search for a new solution to the onslaught that was being carried out by the Red Devils. Rasmus Hojlund, who was acquired by Manchester United in the summer of 2023, did not score in his thirteenth Premier League appearance. In order to alleviate the strain that is being placed on the player who is only 20 years old, there are numerous reasons why Ten Hag should purchase additional strikers.

And Icardi is a name that Manchester United ought to take into consideration. Galatasaray made the right choice when they made the decision to purchase the Argentine star from Paris Saint-Germain for a fee of ten million euros. Icardi had a successful performance in Turkey, as he scored 23 goals across all competitions in a total of 25 appearances. In addition, he had a strong performance when the Red Devils were hosted at Old Trafford in the Champions League fixture.

In light of the fact that Real Madrid is interested in acquiring Icardi, Manchester United will need to be more active in this transaction. In addition to Icardi, the Red Devils are also interested in signing Serhou Guirassy, a striker who had a release clause in his contract with Stuttgart that allowed him to go for a fee of fifteen million pounds. 

They have also been linked with Lois Openda, but they would not be able to purchase the star player for RB Leipzig in January due to their financial situation.
