Manchester United’s search for attacking reinforcement continues, but the club has decided to turn down an opportunity to sign a player who might have addressed their goal scoring woes.
With Ruben Amorim’s team struggling for goals despite significant investment in strikers, the need for a new forward has grown evident.
Amorim has openly admitted his desire for another striker, and several names have been linked to United in recent weeks.

The club previously explored a potential swap deal for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, Amorim’s preferred target, but no deal materialized.
Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyökeres is another player on the radar, with a £50 million price tag reportedly attached.
Despite financial constraints, United remain eager to add firepower in January.
One option presented to the Red Devils was an Ajax forward who had long been admired by former manager Erik ten Hag.
This striker had been linked to United during Ten Hag’s tenure and was considered a potential fit for the team’s pressing needs upfront.
The offered player, however, is enduring a poor season in the Eredivisie, with just one goal in 17 appearances.
While Tottenham and West Ham also expressed interest, United chose not to act, signaling a shift in transfer strategy under Amorim’s leadership.
This rejection reflects United’s growing emphasis on targeting higher-quality players who can meet the club’s long-term ambitions.

it is revealed that the player in question is Brian Brobbey, the Ajax forward who had been a favorite of Ten Hag.
Despite his past links with United, the club has made a deliberate choice not to pursue him according to United in Focus.
Brobbey’s current statistics—three goals and seven assists in 29 games this season—failed to meet the standards expected at Old Trafford.
This decision is seen as a sign of United’s evolving recruitment process, now driven by results and higher aspirations.
