United looked at Brobbey this window as an option up front.
Erik ten Hag was interested in taking him to Old Trafford and reportedly spoke to him on the phone.
Ultimately, he signed for Ajax for a reported fee of €17 million.
With Cristiano Ronaldo nearing the end of his United career, Ten Hag could consider signing Brobbey as a long-term replacement.
The 20-year-old is an exciting striker with all the tools to be a world champion.
His pace and power would help him establish himself well in the Premier League.
Brobbey would offer a different dynamic to United’s attack, especially as number nine. He is a brilliant finisher, active in and around the penalty area.
While he’s still raw in many areas, Brobbey could become a special player under Ten Hag.
It would be extremely difficult to negotiate with Ajax, who will likely demand a hefty fee for their striker.
After beefing up the midfield this summer, United will be looking to buy a young striker next.
