Man utd wishing to sign “one of the best sts”

The Manchester United season is not yet over, not yet so Ruben Amorim can help him, although the same thing cannot be said for Marcus Rashford, with English in exile who seeks to miss the rest of the campaign through an injury.
Currently in the books of Aston Villa, following his change of loan from February at the Midlands, the 27 -year -old will have to look at his parent club offer for the glory of the Europa League – eight years after playing an essential role in the uprising of this same trophy under Jose Mourinho.
In what was just its first full season in the senior ranks at Old Trafford, the Youngster then in particular came to life in the stadiums with direct elimination, accumulating five goals and aid in total, including an amazing crucial free kick in Celta Vigo.
This impact had followed the emergence of Rashford on the stage a year earlier in the last months of the 2015/16 season, after having ended this campaign with eight goals in just 18 first team games under the watch of Louis Van Gaal.
Perhaps his first years, however, occurred under the reign of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with the Graduate Academy recording 26 goal contributions in 31 Premier League games in 2019/20, followed by 24 other high-flying outings in the following season.

A brief resurgence occurred in 2022/23, in the middle of the heroism of 30 goals from the attacker, although the past few years have presented far too much inconsistency, the star of Three Lions looking for a permanent summer release. A potential youth replacement seems to have already been aligned …
Last on the search for Man Utd for an attacker
In addition to the widely reported movement for Matheus Cunha of the Wolverhampton Wanderers, the signing of a new central center seems hot on the agenda of Amorim and ineos this summer, Rasmus Hojlund having scored only four league goals in 2024/25 so far.
As indicated by Givemesport, the Red Devils identified Liam Delap and Victor Osimhen as the main candidates for the search for a new new number, although with the lust chords that were `complicated ”.
Indeed, there are doubts as to whether the Delap classified of 30 million pounds sterling wishes to move to Old Trafford at this stage of his embryonic career, while for Osimhen, there are concerns concerning potential wage demands and the will of the Nigerian to appear for the club.
Transfer focus
Mega Money Deals, Controversial Moves and Big-Name Flops. This is the house of news and transfer opinions through Football Fancast.
In this spirit, alternatives to their pair are now written, the report describing that one of those on which Ineos is also “ tab ” is Eintracht Francfurt Sensation, Hugo Ekitike.
Previously in the books of Paris Saint -Germain – having also been strongly linked to Newcastle United in the past – the French dazzled in Germany this season, hence the interest in him of those of Manchester.
A major obstacle would be the price of 80 million pounds sterling of 22 years, although if a kind of latitude can be found, it can come to the United Radar in a more concrete way.
Why Hugo Ekitike is like a rashford bonus
After a few difficult years under the Manchester United microscope, Rashford seemed to return to his best in a villa shirt lately, before his recent cruel injury.
Indeed, the experienced striker notably scored his first championship goal for the villans with a goal of escaping the counter against Brighton and Hove Albion, evoking memories of his goal against Arsenal at the beginning of 2022/23, or his second strike in the 4-0 game of Chelsea on the opening day 2019/20.
Against Paris Saint-Germain, during this time, the resurgent striker was also breathtaking while the side of Unai Emery broke courageously at the quarterfinals, with Rashford Teeing Ezri Konsa after a superb right flank.
This speed and this skill showed nuances of Rashford that United Fans had seen in the past years, the polarizing talent having seemed almost “unstoppable” in its pump – as Erik Ten Hag noted.
In many ways, the above -mentioned ekitike has exciting similarities with this main version of “Rashy”, especially in its ability to sparkle out of the left or in its usual central berth.
This season, in particular, was fruitful for the former PSG starlet, because it has already recorded 22 goals and ten assists in 45 games for Frankfurt on all fronts, including 15 goals and six assists in Bundesliga.
He is not too far away to imitate the best count of the Premier League of Rashford, which was mentioned before, in 2019/20, in the middle of his record of 17 goals and nine assists during this campaign impacted by COVVID.

Described as “one of the best attackers” by data analyst Ben Mattinson, Ekitike also reflects the united pariah in a range of attacked measures, when compared to these two seasons, with the Talisman of Frankfurt also something of a monster in this left channel.
This quality was fully exposed while the sniper of the demand was put in a fine way against Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League, flowing to his man from this left flank, before triggering a delicious finish in the furthest corner.
It is difficult not to see an element of Rashford to his best when he witnesses Ekitike in full flow, the International France U21 potentially representing the perfect successor of the 138 goals of the Red Devils.
United was his “favorite club” when he was a child, by the way …
