Manchester United have reportedly drawn up a four-man forward list to help improve their fortunes in front of goal under new manager Ruben Amorim.
The Red Devils have flattered themselves by deceiving in front of goal so far this season, scoring just 13 goals in their 12 Premier League games.
Mail Sport reported that United have made signing a centre-forward their priority, with Viktor Gyokeres a long-term option.
The Sporting star had thrived under Amorim and is being scouted by the club, although Man United’s new manager has promised not to target his former club in January.
According Sky GermanyMan United are considering four other candidates as they look to resolve their attacking problems.
Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush and Galatasaray player Victor Osimhen are reportedly considered among the leading contenders.
Manchester United have reportedly drawn up a shortlist of four forwards for Ruben Amorim
Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush would be among the forwards considered
Victor Osimhen is considered a possible option amid his loan at Galatasaray.
Marmoush has starred in the Bundesliga this season, scoring 11 goals in as many games for Frankfurt.
Only Harry Kane has surpassed the Egyptian striker in the Bundesliga this season.
Marmoush would reportedly cost around £50million if Man United met their interest.
Osimhen is also claimed to be under consideration, with the striker currently on loan at Galatasaray after pushing to leave Napoli.
The striker, who has a £63m release clause, has scored eight goals in 10 games this season, including two goals against Tottenham in the Europa League.
Randal Kolo Muani and Victor Boniface are said to be outside contenders on Man United’s shortlist.
Kolo Muani has only started twice for French champions Paris Saint-Germain this season.
The Ligue 1 side are reportedly open to a loan deal or outright sale of the French international, who was signed for £77m last year.
Randal Kolo Muani is considered a long shot despite his lack of playing time at PSG
Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have struggled for goals so far this season for Man United
Bayer Leverkusen’s demands for Boniface reportedly make the Nigerian striker 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 in 23 league games to help Leverkusen win the title in the 2023/24 campaign.
Man United’s forwards have struggled for form this season, with Rasmus Hojlund scoring just two goals after a start cut short by injury.
Joshua Zirkzee’s first goal remains his only one in a Man United shirt after 18 appearances, following his £36.5million summer move from Bologna.
