Man Utd Start talks to sign one of Europe’s “Best STS”

Although United stays in the pending trial of signing Bryan Mbeumo, it seems that the hierarchy will continue to pursue an increase in the forward attacking division.

As Matheus Cunha is already the first player for Old Trafford this summer, it looks like the Brentford ace will be the next player to join the Brazilian.

This comes after the Red Devils bid for the £60million bid for the 25-year-old attacker, who has expressed hope to contact Ruben Amorim this summer.

However, the club will have to wait for Bees to approve any move by Cameroon International, and personal terms are not expected to be a problem.

Their ambition for landing adds depth in such areas, and there seems to be no sign of slowing down, especially given their interest in other European players.

Manchester United finds new strikers this summer

Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has become a surprise choice for Manchester United this summer, with the 30-year-old hiring enthusiastic interest from all over the Premier League.

Hugo Ekitiké remains a key target for Amorim’s side after scoring 22 goals in all matches this season, but his £84m price may exceed the Red Devils’ budget given the increase elsewhere.

However, according to Italian export La Gazzetta Dello Sport, they can therefore turn their attention to Juventus Talisman Dušan Vlahović, the 25-year-old has only one year left for the deal.

They claimed that the Red Devils had contacted the intermediary with the potential moves of the striker, who seemed keen to turn to England.

It also noted that current UN displaced person Jadon Sancho could be used as leverage for any potential deal, and a suit in Serie A is very keen to act for this window at the age of 25.

Why Vlahovic will be Amorim’s answer to Osimhen

Victor Osimhen is a player who has been firmly rooted in Manchester United for the past few years, understandable given his record throughout Europe.

The Nigerian has registered 85 goals in the last three games, 37 of which were loaned on Galatasaray, which has leaped the club to the Turkish League title.

However, it appears he will not return to the Italian side before the 2025/26 season, with Antonio Conte’s side hoping to deliver on the 26-year-old.

He has always been a subject of interest around Amorim, but there are admirers in Saudi Arabia, which could make the forward demand a small fortune and bring any potential moves to the Red Devils.

He reportedly asked for a compensation plan of £500,000 a week, a ridiculous figure that has moved United to other options.

Vlahovic seems to be just one of them, and according to FBREF, Juve Star is even a player similar to Osimhen, showing off his talent.

When comparing Serie A statistics for 2023/24, the Serbian managed to outperform his performance in many key areas, making him a top pickup if the hierarchy could complete his signature agreement.

In the words of Italian legend Christian Vieri, the 25-year-old was “after Heyland, the best striker in Europe at the time.”

He also completed more takeovers he tried while registering for more airline wins, handing Amorim to an all-around center he was greatly lacking.

Vlahovic is primarily a shooter, but also completed more passes and more progress passes every 90 points, handing Mbeumo and Cunha the chance to strengthen his identity at Old Trafford.

It’s not clear that a deal from Juve Ace will bring the hierarchy back to this window, but it’s clear that he will be an equally effective but cheaper, replacement for Naples’ striker.

Given the Italian side’s interest in Sancho, it could provide an excellent opportunity to get bargaining throughout the 2025/26 campaign.
