Manchester United are looking at bolstering their attack this summer as their recruitment team continues to draw up a shortlist of reliable strikers.
The shortlist is currently headed up by Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap who’ll have a £30 million release clause should The Tractor Boys be relegated in the coming weeks.
However, alongside Delap sits Mattheus Cunha of Wolves, as the two Premier League strikers replace the likes of Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen as more affordable targets.
Now, The Red Devils are looking slightly further afield once more, with their sights on one of Bayer Leverkusen’s stars.
Previously United have monitored Victor Boniface, however this time it’s the turn of Patrik Schick.

Manchester United interested in Patrik Schick
Sky Sports Germany reporter Patrick Berger has reported that the 29-year-old is considered as an “interesting” option for United, with 23 goals and an assist in 40 games this season.
The striker has helped Xabi Alonso’s side to hold onto second place in the Bundesliga sitting only behind Bayern Munich, who also knocked them out of the Champions League.
It’s understood that Leverkusen would demand between £21 million to £26 million for their striker, making him a very affordable option for The Red Devils.
On their side is also the fact that Schick reportedly wants a move to the Premier League despite interest from the Saudi Pro League.
The interest from the Middle East is understood to be ignored at this time, with Schick not entertaining the idea of joining the Saudi Pro League.
Berger reports that whilst United have made contact, nothing is concrete just yet, with Schick joining the many names on their attacking shortlist.
