According to The Athletic, Manchester United definitely needs to add a new striker in January 2024.
In round 20 of the Premier League, Man Utd had a trip to the City Ground of a Nottingham Forest that was in a relegation bаttle. However, poor defense caused the Red Devils to lose 1-2, thereby continuing to show their shaky form.
After 20 matches, the Red Devils stood still in 7th place. One of the reasons why Man Utd failed was due to poor аttаck. They have only scored 22 goals since the beginning of the season, only slightly better than Sheffield United (15 goals).
Rasmus Hojlund is inexperienced and has no one to share the fire.
Anthony Martial has long been disappointing.
That’s why Man Utd plans to ask Bayern Munich’s Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting to loan him, according to The Athletic.
This player is currently rarely used by coach Thomas Tuchel after Harry Kane appeared. Moting’s talent is undeniable. Last season, he scored 17 goals in all competitions.
Notably, because Man Utd is affected by financial fairness laws, they are considering borrowing options like Moting’s case.
In addition, RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner is also considered.
In January 2020, Man Utd recruited Odion Ighalo and did not spend too much money.
The Nigerian player played well and somewhat helped Man Utd have more аttаck options.
Similar was the case with Wout Weghorst last season. Man Utd hopes that this time Moting will show a difference, especially when he has proven his class at Bayern Munich.
