Manchester United will focus their interest on Tammy Abraham following the disappointing move of Cody Gakpo to Liverpool.
Erik ten Hag has stated in interviews that it is important for the club to find the right striker to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.
Currently, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford are the only players who can play this role.
However, the two are likely to always start together, meaning no substitute striker will be on the bench with quality first-team experience.
Man United’s interest in Gakpo dates back to Ten Hag’s arrival at the club and the pair even share the same agent.
The unexpected transfer will no doubt come down to finances with the club exploring the loan market.
However, with Gakpo officially out of the game, it means that Abraham has become the next player rumored to be a target.
Transfers reports that United will not abandon their search to sign a striker during the January transfer window.
Abraham, who already has Premier League experience with Chelsea, could be seen as a quality option at the top.
Last season, he helped Roma win the inaugural season of the Europa Conference League and scored 27 goals in all competitions.
United have been looking for a striker who can contribute as many goals for a couple of seasons.
The outlet reports that he is on United’s shortlist with Joao Félix, another player rumored to be joining on loan. Goncalo Ramos and Rafael Leao are also mentioned.
Ten Hag’s priority will be to reinforce the squad’s attack after Ronaldo’s departure.
With the club occupying fourth place, it will also be in the manager’s main interest to secure a more comfortable position at the top of the table.
