Struggles in Attack

Manchester United is reportedly looking to bolster their attack in the upcoming January transfer window. The team has been struggling for goals this season, with Marcus Rashford being the only recognized forward in the squad to have scored in the Premier League.

Support for Rasmus Hojlund

The Red Devils are particularly interested in signing an experienced striker to support Rasmus Hojlund, who has scored three goals in Europe since joining the club in the summer. United believes that Hojlund could benefit from playing alongside a seasoned frontman.

Potential Targets

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United already has a shortlist of potential targets for the January transfer window. One of them is Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who finished as Serie A's top goalscorer last season. Napoli's recent fallout may make them more open to offers for Osimhen.

Another potential option is Brentford star Ivan Toney, who will be free from his gambling ban. However, it has been reported that Brentford could demand £100million for the England international.

In addition, United is also considering Porto striker Mehdi Taremi, who is out of contract at the end of the season. Taremi was previously linked with a move to Old Trafford in the summer.

Focus on Defense

Alongside their search for a striker, Manchester United is also keen on signing a world-class center-back such as Edmond Tapsoba or Jean-Clair Todibo.

With these potential signings, United aims to address their goal-scoring issues and strengthen their squad for the remainder of the season.
