Manchester United’s search for a striker this summer has turned up a range of options for Ruben Amorim’s side, aiming to turn the club’s results around.
This season, Amorim has been reliant on goals from Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo as strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have been unreliable.
As such, United have shortlisted strikers like Viktor Gyokeres, Victor Osimhen, Jonathan David and Hugo Ekitike to bring consistency to the final third.
All four have been clinical in front of goal this season, however United’s financial struggles might make it difficult for the club to make a massive signing in the summer.
It’s been recently reported that Gyokeres’ price tag has dropped from his release clause of £86.5 million to £50 million thanks to a gentleman’s agreement he has with the club allowing him to leave to the right club.
However, Ekitike’s seems to have gone the other way.

Eintracht Frankfurt to cash in on wide-spread Hugo Ekitike interest
Florian Plettenberg has reported that Eintracht Frankfurt are well aware of the wide-spread interest in Ekitike, with clubs like United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Juventus monitoring the situation closely.
As Such, the Bundesliga side are looking to cash in on the star who’s departure is almost guaranteed.
Despite a £46 million valuation on Transfermarkt, Frankfurt and asking for a £67 million for the 22-year-old.
This puts him as more expensive than Gyokeres who has been proven for several seasons both with Sporting CP and in England with Coventry City, albeit in a lower league.
If United are to try to meet Frankfurt’s valuation of Ekitike, some key sales will need to be finalised first, potentially allowing for other clubs to beat them to his signature.
