Manchester United are looking ahead to the summer as an opportunity to strengthen their squad, but particularly their attack.
Whilst Rasmus Hojlund scored against Leicester in their 3-0 win last night, The Red Devils have struggled to score, lacking a consistent finisher up top.
Hojlund’s goal ended his 20-game goalless streak, with Joshua Zirkzee also struggling to find the net on a regular basis.
As such the club’s recruitment team is scouring Europe for consistent and prolific goalscorers to bring to Old Trafford during the next transfer window.
Now, Florian Plettenberg has reported that their search has brought them to Germany, scouting two Bundesliga strikers.

Manchester United monitor Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko
The Sky Sports reporter has now announced that United are monitoring Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.
The pair of strikers have been lighting up the Bundesliga and Europe with Ekitike grabbing 19 goals and eight assists in 38 games and Sesko grabbing 17 goals and six assists in 36 games.
As such, the duo have joined Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen on United’s shortlist of potential strikers to target in the summer.
However, United’s business in the transfer window will heavily rely on the ability to make sales.
Already Chelsea’s obligation to buy Jadon Sancho is in question despite pulling out of the £25 million sale incurring a significant penalty for The Blues.
Elsewhere though there could be hope in offloading Antony and Marcus Rashford who have found tremendous form on loan away from Old Trafford.
In United can make sales, then a move for either Ekitike or Sesko could be a potential to help boost the attacking play which has been the primary area of concern under Ruben Amorim.
