Manchester United is one of the big teams that is struggling badly this season, and one of the biggest reasons behind their tough times this season is lack of proper goal scorers. The struggle in their forward line is being continued from last couple of seasons. They tried to fix the issue multiple times but things are somehow not going in their favor.
Last season they secured the signing of Rasmus Højlund for a huge fee of £64 million from Atalanta. The Denmark international had a goal scoring season last year but it was nowhere close to justifying his price tag. This season he is not up to the mark either. But he did score some vital goals this season.
Manchester United To Seal Shocking £50m Transfer In January?
Brazilian international Antony can be considered one of the biggest flops of Manchester United’s recent history. Eric Ten Hag bought him for a record fee of £82 million but so far he has scored only 12 goals for the club in 91 matches in total. Fans are extremely disappointed with his performance.
Manchester United is Struggling in their Forward Line
This season they bought Joshua Zirkee from Bologna for a fee of £36.5 million. But the Dutch International has also failed to impress at Old Trafford so far. Marcus Rashford is the only forward who has showed a little bit of consistency lately but he had also been pretty down this season.
Manchester United Possibly Looking Forward to Fix Their Issues In January
Surely, there is an urgent need for a fix in the forward line up of United and there are big rumors that they may jump into the winter transfer window so that they can fit in the top 4. According to reports from Mirror, United is monitoring Brighton & Hove Albion’s young forward Evan Ferguson who had been pretty impressive so far.
Fulham is also looking forward to seal a loan deal for the Irish international, but there are reports that United is lining up with a big £50 million transfer kitty to get the 20 year old to Old Trafford. This looks like an excellent move and Ferguson can of course fix the damage that had been needed to be fixed from a long time.
