Are Manchester United on the verge of signing another striker?
Despite signing Joshua Zirkzee, United are being linked to bringing further recruits to the club.
This is a highly lauded change of tack that is being appreciated by MUFC fans.
For far too long, the club have been found wanting in the transfer market.
Not only in terms of quality, but also quantity.
A case in point was the left back situation last season.
With Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia out for extended periods of time, the club brought Sergio Reguilon in on loan. But the loan was ended in January and then the club struggled to find another natural player to fill that role. This left the club struggling badly for balance on that side of the pitch as they suffered heavy defeats with a makeshift backline.
It now seems that the new transfer leadership are taking a more proactive approach to the season.
United have historically had a great deal of strength in depth when it comes to their striking department.
UEFA Champions League winning sides from Old Trafford were built by Sir Alex Ferguson around striking groups such as Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole, Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as well as Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez.
You can never have too many great strikers.
And, if recent social media posts are to believed, one striker linked with Old Trafford could be on his way soon.
Arsenal wonderkid Chido Obi-Martin has been heavily linked with the club ever since he visited Carrington to discuss a move to Manchester.
The record-breaking young striker has been weighing up his options before deciding whether to stay at the Emirates or continue his journey elsewhere.
It seems like he’s made up his mind.
Uploading a post to his Instagram page, it simply reads ‘Arsenal thank you’.
This seems a clear message of a goodbye to the club.
With that said, the next question is what club will Obi-Martin be saying hello to?
United fans will, of course, be hoping that it’ll be at Old Trafford.
Obi-Martin is a generational talent who has broken multiple records while in London.
If the young Dane were to choose Manchester next as his home, it’d arguably be INEOS’ best transfer so far.
However, let’s not count the chickens too son.
Reports have suggested that Chido Obi-Martin has also explored a move to Germany as well. So United are not the only club in the race.
But, this post does provide encouragement to MUFC fans. And it’s likely that a decision will be announced by the striker sooner rather than later.
