Manchester United are looking to bolster their attack as a lackluster season has commenced, with scoring proving to be the biggest challenge.
Academy graduate Marcus Rashford, now 26, hasn’t rediscovered his form since Erik Ten Hag’s first season in charge.
While young talents such as Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Højlund, and Amad Diallo continue to settle into Premier League action, the club urgently needs goals.
United are now positioned to enter the transfer market in search of a prolific goal scorer.

According to reputable source L’Équipe, United have made inquiries about Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku.
Nkunku has been Chelsea’s current best goal scorer with 10 goals across all competitions despite playing limited time—154 league minutes including only one Premier League start.
The Paris-Saint Germain Academy graduate is reportedly frustrated with his lack of playing time he currently gets under Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca.
Former Redbull Leipzig sensation has been placed behind the likes of Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, and Noni Madueke in the pecking order.

Given United’s need for a proven scoring threat and Chelsea’s abundance of attacking options, this transfer could suit both parties.
With the likes of Chelsea’s Joao Felix, Jadon Sancho, and Mykhailo Mudryk similarly struggling to find playing time, the club may consider offloading some of their players.
Nkunku has reportedly started reconsidering his immediate future at Stamford Bridge, having expected a larger role.
United sit 13th in the table with just 12 goals scored in 11 matches, United are said to be planning a statement signing for the upcoming winter transfer window.
The transfer window starting in January will be one to watch, as United look to add firepower and Nkunku contemplates his Chelsea future.
