In the quest of solving the number nine role problem, Manchester united recruited Wout Weghorst in the winter transfer window to replace Cristiano Ronaldo whose contract was terminated mutually before World cup. Weghorst is currently struggling to be productive at Manchester united and it is becoming obvious that Manchester united might not want to sign him permanently after his loan spell ends. However, the Red Devils could bring in a proper number nine in the summer transfer window.
There are three players who could fit into the number one role at Manchester united. These players include Victor Osimhen, Harry Kane and Kolo Muani. Given the age of Harry Kane, it would be a cheaper option for Manchester united as the England forward is currently 29 years old and the oldest among other targets. Kane have scored 19 goals across all competitions this season and have won the premier league golden boot in the past. He has proven himself in the past and have been in the premier league for more than five years. He could be the perfect number nine that Manchester united are currently yearning for.
However, the Red Devils might also opt for Victor Osimhen who is currently leading the Serie-A top scorer list this season. The 24-year old Nigerian forward is in his best form at the moment, but he would be expensive and have not been tested in the premier league. This means that Manchester united could be risking spending a huge fee to sign a player who might not do well in the Premier league. Moreso, Kolo Muani who did very well for France in the 2022 FIFA world cup, has scored 14 goals for Frankfurt this season. He is a perfect replacement for Ronaldo at Manchester, but Osimhen and Kane are the likely players the Red Devils might want to sign in the summer.
