Manchester United should use this international break to collect more information on a target pair of a young attacker, who have already been linked to rival clubs.
United requires improvement all over the field after a disappointing season and at the front has been identified as an area to be recruited.
Ruben Amorim seems more ready to use Joshua Zirkzee as an offensive midfielder now, which helps unlock the potential of Dutch after having already had a hard time “number new”. He leaves Rasmus Hojlund with minimal competition or support as the only real striker of the senior team, although the progression of the 17 -year -old compatriot Chido Obi promises.
With United in search of options that are not the finished product and those that offer long -term development potential, the Daily mail Write that the club will have screening eyes during the international of the under 21 of Friday evening between England and France.
The players they want to take a look are Liam Delap and Hugo Eikitike.
Delap has scored ten goals in the Premier League so far this season – more than anyone in United – and individually represents more than a third of the production of the city of Ipswich in difficulty. But Chelsea would also be supposed to keep an eye on its progress and its potential availability.
The 22 -year -old talent, son of the former Premier League midfielder Rory Delap, had previously been in Manchester City from the age of 16 and cost Ipswich a first £ last summer. The probable relegation of the Suffolk club will probably see Delap moved on, although a solid performance in the European championship for the under 21 of this summer with England could help Ipswich inflate its requested price.
As for Ekitike, he succeeded in his career on the right track since he joined Eintracht Francfurt, after seeing his opportunities limited following a high level move to Paris Saint-Germain in 2022.
The 22 -year -old was strongly courted by Newcastle United earlier in his career and, thanks to his form of resurgence in Germany, he appeared on the radars of Arsenal and Liverpool as a cheaper alternative to the great word of Alexander Isak.
Ekitike has scored 13 goals in the Bundesliga this season and contenders in English will have the chance to see how he behaves against a first League defense next month when Frankfurt faces Tottenham Hotspur on two legs in the quarterfinals of the Europa League.
