Manchester United’s struggles up front this season have been well documented, with the team facing difficulties in finding consistent goal scorers.
As the Red Devils search for a solution, one of their main priorities this summer will be strengthening the striker position.
With Rasmus Hojlund still working to find his rhythm in his second season, Manchester United’s management has been exploring potential reinforcements to bolster the squad.
Fabrizio Romano recently highlighted four key areas the club wants to address, with a new number nine being a top priority.
The search has already seen speculation surrounding several potential targets, including Victor Osimhen, whose goalscoring abilities have caught the attention of United scouts.
While Osimhen remains a strong candidate, another name has emerged as a serious contender.

Jonathan Burkardt, the 24-year-old striker from Mainz, has piqued United’s interest, as per United in Focus via TBR Football’s Graeme Bailey.
Having come through the ranks at Mainz, Jonathan Burkardt has been a standout performer, helping his team secure a spot near the top of the Bundesliga table.
His impressive tally of 15 goals in 21 starts this season has earned him a place in Julian Nagelsmann’s Germany setup.
Jonathan Burkardt’s style of play has been noted as a good fit for Ruben Amorim’s system, with the striker often playing as a lone forward in a 3-4-3 formation, similar to how United may set up next season.
His adaptability and well-rounded skill set make him an attractive option for the Red Devils, especially as they continue to search for a player capable of leading the line.
With a number of other Premier League clubs reportedly keeping tabs on Burkardt, United may face stiff competition for his signature.
However, his familiarity with Amorim’s tactical setup could give Manchester United a significant advantage in securing his services.
As the transfer window draws closer, it remains to be seen whether Burkardt will become United’s next signing.
