Potential Bargain Signings for Manchester United in the Summer Transfer Window
Manchester United investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe is reportedly hesitant to meet Ivan Toney’s £100m valuation. Manager Erik ten Hag is eager to bolster the squad with a new striker to challenge Rasmus Hojlund, so INEOS might explore other options for a more affordable deal. Here are five players United could pursue in budget transfers:
-
Jonathan David: The Lille striker has been linked with Premier League moves, and with his contract expiring in a year, United could secure a bargain deal. David’s versatility across the front line and consistent goal-scoring record make him an attractive option.
-
Serhou Guirassy: Despite his impressive goal-scoring form for Stuttgart, the 27-year-old remains available for a modest £13m due to a release clause. United have previously shown interest, and Guirassy’s Bundesliga experience could be valuable.
-
Mehdi Taremi: The Iranian forward is set to become a free agent in the summer, offering United a low-cost option. Taremi’s experience and ability to compete at a high level make him an appealing choice to support Hojlund.
-
Gabriel Barbosa: Once hailed as a prodigious talent, Barbosa’s career has had its ups and downs. With his contract expiring in December, United could negotiate a discounted deal. His prolific goal-scoring record for Flamengo suggests he could thrive in the Premier League.
-
Dominic Calvert-Lewin: The Everton striker has been linked with a move to United, and with just a year left on his contract in the summer, he could be available at a reasonable price. A change of scenery might rejuvenate Calvert-Lewin, offering United an exciting addition to their attack.
