Man United ‘draw up 4-man striker shortlist’ targeting reinforcements for Amorim

Manchester United have reportedly shortlisted four attackers to boost their fortunes in front of goal under new head coach Ruben Amorim.

The Red Devils have flattered to deceive in front of goal so far this season, scoring just thirteen times in their twelve Premier League matches.

Mail Sport reported that United have made signing a centre-forward their priority, with Viktor Gyokeres a long-term option.

The Sporting star has flourished under Amorim and is being scouted by the club, although Man United's new head coach vowed not to raid his old club in January.

According to Sky Germany, Man United are considering four other candidates in their bid to solve their attacking problems.

Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush and Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen are reportedly considered among the top contenders.

Marmoush played in the Bundesliga this season and scored eleven goals in as many games for Frankfurt.

Only Harry Kane has beaten the Egyptian striker in the Bundesliga this season.

Marmoush would reportedly cost around £50 million if Man United were to follow up on their interest.

Osimhen is also said to be in discussions with the striker who is currently on loan at Galatasaray after pushing to leave Napoli.

The forward, who has a £63m release clause, has scored eight goals in 10 games this season, including scoring twice against Tottenham in the Europa League.

Randal Kolo Muani and Victor Boniface are said to be outside contenders for Man United's shortlist.

Kolo Muani has made just two starts for French champions Paris Saint-Germain this season.

The Ligue 1 side are reportedly open to a loan deal or outright sale of the France international, who was signed for £77million last year.

Bayer Leverkusen's demands for Boniface reportedly make the Nigerian forward an unlikely target for Man United despite their interest.

Boniface has scored eight goals in 15 games in all competitions this season, after scoring 14 goals in 23 league games to help Leverkusen win the title in the 2023/24 season.

Man United's strikers have struggled with form this season, with Rasmus Hojlund striking just twice after a disrupted start due to injury.

Joshua Zirkzee's debut goal remains his only goal in a Man United shirt after 18 appearances, following his £36.5million summer move from Bologna.
