Manchester United have AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud on their January wish list.
United are on the hunt for a striker to come in and lead the line.
With the January window now open, United can finally make their move. Several names have been mentioned in this regard.
The Red Devils are reportedly preparing a major offer for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Kolo Muani.
Also on Erik ten Hag’s priority list is Borussia Mönchengladbach talisman Marcus Thuram, with a contract proposal already made to the Frenchman.
Giroud is the latest name associated with a move to Old Trafford, in what would be his third spell in England after spells at Arsenal and Chelsea.
The Times reports that Giroud is a potential target for United, with the 36-year-old firmly in the club’s thinking.
“Former Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud is understood to be another player United have had on their radar.”
United are keen to capitalize on Giroud’s contract situation at the San Siro to lure him to Old Trafford.
The Times indicates that Giroud would be more than happy to stay at AC Milan if the Rossoneri offer him new terms.
Giroud has scored nine goals for the Serie A champions this season, including four in the Champions League, a competition he will no doubt be reluctant to part with in the later years of his career.
The AC Milan star had a stellar World Cup with Les Bleus, where he broke Thierry Henry’s record to become the country’s all-time leading goalscorer.
Despite having a horrible final in which he was substituted in the first 40 minutes, Giroud netted four times in six games.
