Manchester United reportedly want striker Sebastien Haller.
According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United have now joined the race to sign Newcastle United and West Ham United target Sebastien Haller from Eintracht Frankfurt.
The Red Devils saw Marcus Rashford become the first-choice striker under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, meaning Romelu Lukaku’s future is up in the air.
Inter Milan and new boss Antonio Conte are though to be keen on and £80milion move for Lukaku this summer, which would leave United needing a replacement in attack.
The Daily Mail now report that United are interested in signing Eintracht Frankfurt striker Haller, joining the battle for the French target man’s signature.
Haller, 24, racked up 20 goals and 12 assists this season, becoming one of the Bundesliga’s most feared strikers whilst working well with new Real Madrid signing Luka Jovic.
Haller could bring a new dimension to Solskjaer’s attack, and news of United now wanting to land the former Auxerre and Utrecht will be a blow to Newcastle and West Ham.
Frankfurter Rundschau reported just last week that Newcastle and West Ham both want Haller, with the two Premier League sides seeking a big, physical centre forward for next season.
Haller ticks the boxes, but the money on offer at United – both in terms of wages and transfer fee – leaves them as the favourites, unless Newcastle or West Ham can convince Haller to join with the lure of regular playing time.
