Man United transfer target could leave his club, attacker keen on Premier League move



Manchester United’s transfer business has been widely appreciated as the club have completed the signings of striker Joshua Zirkzee and defender Leny Yoro.

To sign the latter, the Red Devils had to beat competition from Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool.

The incomings are not going to stop any time soon as moves for Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt and PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte are currently being negotiated.

However, the Red Devils have received a major boost as one of their long term targets is being allowed to leave his club this summer and the striker is keen on a move to the Premier League.

Brian Brobbey, a long-term target for Man United, is available this summer for about €25–30 million, and Ajax are willing to sell the 22-year-old striker, according to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg.

The journalist provided the information on his X account, also revealing that the player wants to play in the Premier League, despite AS Roma monitoring his situation.

Ajax striker Brian Brobbey has been previously linked with a move to Man United.

Erik ten Hag is a big fan of the forward, which is why the Red Devils have been continuously associated with the Dutchman for the last two years.

It is no secret that the Dutch manager enjoys working with his former players, and the striker has previously worked with the Man United manager.

Man United should invest money in a new midfielder next

The club now have two natural strikers in the squad; Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.

Due to the presence of the two attackers, there is no need for United to make a move for the Ajax man.

The next player to move to Old Trafford should ideally be a central midfielder, whether that will be Manuel Ugarte or somebody else, remains to be seen.
