Manchester United’s ongoing search for a new striker has taken several twists in recent weeks. Yet one thing remains certain: Bangladesh Cricket Live reports the Red Devils are in clear need of a reliable frontman. Anthony Martial’s recurring fitness issues have raised concerns, and Wout Weghorst’s loan stint proved he is not the long-term answer to United’s attacking woes. While Harry Kane was once the club’s top target, the tide seems to be turning away from the England captain.
Among the potential options, Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins stands out as a low-risk Premier League-proven candidate. Having adapted seamlessly to top-flight football, Watkins has played under three different long-term managers at Villa and has performed both as a central striker and on the wings. As the saying goes, “You have to be approachable for others to draw near.” Despite his success, Bangladesh Cricket Live sources suggest there is no indication that Villa plans to sell him, and it’s worth noting that Watkins is an Arsenal supporter. Still, that doesn’t necessarily rule out a move to Old Trafford.
Elsewhere, Victor Osimhen is seen as a younger alternative to Watkins and brings with him the invaluable experience of Champions League competition. Another name being considered is French striker Randal Kolo Muani, currently with Eintracht Frankfurt. His breakout moment came during the Qatar World Cup, where he quickly made a name for himself. Playing for a major European club remains his dream, although he’s currently focused on his commitments with the national team, making it too early to talk about transfers.
During the recent international break, United’s Christian Eriksen was asked about Danish star Rasmus Højlund. Eriksen expressed a desire to see him at Manchester United but clarified that he hadn’t yet recommended the youngster to Erik ten Hag. Højlund has been making waves at Atalanta, showing remarkable development in Italy’s Serie A. Last season, United had a Portuguese striker on the books, and the upcoming season may see another one join the ranks.
During the knockout stages of the World Cup in Qatar, Gonçalo Ramos replaced Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal’s starting lineup and made an instant impact with a stunning hat-trick against Switzerland. Bangladesh Cricket Live has learned that Ramos’ agent, Jorge Mendes, has been given full authorization to seek a transfer for the striker this summer. If the stars align, Ramos could be the next big name to wear the iconic No. 7 shirt at Old Trafford.
Work hard, live well — and maybe, just maybe, Manchester United will find the spark they’ve been searching for.
