Manchester United has spent heavily solving their goal -oriented issue this summer, but a striker stays on their list and it seems that there are a number of candidates for an Old Trafford Switch
Manchester United seems to take their summer expenditure up to more than £ 130 million earlier instead of later – but they still miss an important addition. Matheus Cunha has been signed, while younger Diego Leon also arrived at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils still hope to complete a deal with a big money for Brentford, Vooruit Bryan Mbeumo, although discussions are dragging. And while United likes to continue to close a deal over the line, the real signature they have to make this summer is a new striker.
Both recent additions – Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee – have flattered to mislead when they get the chance to lead the line. And since then there are a number of names linked to movements to Old Trafford.
This includes a number of controversial attackers, including Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa, although Newcastle also follow him. Viktor Gyokees has also been identified as a target for a long time, but he now seems ready for a move to Arsenal.
But who could actually be signed for deadline day? Mirror Football takes a look at some of the potential strikers on the shortlist of United …
After he had already flopped in Paris Saint-Germain, it seemed that Hugo Ekitike's chance had come and gone on a European giant. But the Frenchman rediscovered his form in Eintracht Frankfurt last season and the interest has grown in him since.
United is linked, while Felce Rivals Liverpool has monitored developments. However, Ekitike will not be cheap, where Markus Krosche van Frankfurt, Markus Krosche, claims that his side does not have to sell their star.
One of the most promising young attackers in Europe during his initial breakthrough with the Italian giants Juventus, Kean's progress during an enchantment with Everton – where he only scored two competition goals for four years.
But the Italian showed his talent with a loan spell to PSG before he returned to Juventus. The 25-year-old enjoyed the most productive season of his career last term when he set 25 goals in all competitions for Fiorentina. A release clause of € 52 million (£ 45 million) in his deal would make a movement more affordable.

About affordable, former EVerton Spits, Calvert-Lewin is available for nothing after leaving MerseSide this summer. The 28-year-old announced his departure earlier this summer, with a number of clubs that keep an eye on him.
Calvert-Lewin is certainly talented, with 71 goals for Everton in 274 performances, but his constant injury problems would be a concern. Newcastle is also in for the former man from England, while Leeds was interested, but was forced to continue because of the wage requirements of Calvert-Lewin.
From one English striker to another now, Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins could possibly be available this season. And it seems that United has already investigated a deal with exploratory conversations with Villa earlier this year.
However, a movement for the 29-year-old may not be that simple. Villa is expected to demand around £ 60 million that his signature in January also rejected interest from Arsenal.
Newcastle has also discussed Watkins and is perhaps a larger draw in view of their place in the Champions League subsequent term.
Another English International, former Leicester striker Vardy is perhaps one of the most consistent Premier League goal makers in the past decade. He left the King Power last season after he had achieved his 200th goal for the club in a glittering spell.
And he would also be a bargain option, since he would be available for nothing. But again, there are some worries.
Vardy will be 39 in January, which could see him fall the pecking order. There is also interest from America, Saudi -Arabia and Wrexham, so United wants to look at other options.
After a productive period of five years with Newcastle, striker Callum Wilson confirmed his departure from St James' Park earlier this summer. So he would be available for nothing else.
But like a few of his colleagues, Wilson comes with a few doubts. The former Bournemouth man was destroyed by injuries during his time in the northeast, while his age of 33 years could postpone United Chiefs.
However, there is no doubt about Wilson's family tree with 88 goals in 239 Premier League performances. It just depends on whether United sees him as a gamble that is worth taking.
Ah, Victor Osimhen, what a mystery in which you are. The Nigerian was perhaps the hottest property in Europe a few seasons ago after he had fired Napoli on the Serie A Crown.
But a move to Chelsea fell through, while he closed a switch to Saudi Arabia. Bizarre enough, Osimhen then completed a loan movement to Galatasaray, where he has retained his hot shape.
The Turkish giants have tried to permanently sign him with a number of bids, but the Red Devils were still able to keep muscles by holding conversations with the attacker earlier.
