Man Utd scouts monitoring "incredible" £28m man who can out-jump Ronaldo

Manchester United are now monitoring an “incredible” £28 million striker ahead of a possible move for him in the summer, according to a recent report.

Man Utd news and updates

The Red Devils are back in Premier League action on Saturday lunchtime as they travel to Goodison Park for the final time to face Everton. It has been another week of no midweek matches for United, and Ruben Amorim will be hoping he can welcome one or two players back who missed the game against Tottenham.

Man Utd now agree personal terms with £50m player ahead of summer transfer

Man Utd and INEOS have moved one step closer to possibly completing their first summer signing.

Kobbie Mainoo looks set to be on the sidelines for the next couple of games, but Amorim could receive a double boost, as defender Leny Yoro and midfielder Christian Eriksen are expected to be back for the game against Everton after recovering from illness. Meanwhile, Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer could also be involved, as their injuries are not considered serious.

Away from injury news, it was reported this week that former Man United player Mason Greenwood is being linked with a move to both Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona. The French champions are said to have already offered £62 million to sign the player, which is great news for United, as they have a 50% sell-on clause, meaning they will earn £31 million from that transfer should it go through.

Some of that money they could get from Greenwood could be used to sign a new striker, as according to Turkish outlet Sabah relayed by The People’s Person, Man United are keeping a close eye on Fenerbahce’s Youssef En-Nesyri ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Red Devils have been mentioned with a move for the forward before, but interest has never gathered to the point a bid has been made. But it is now claimed that United as well as Arsenal are monitoring En-Nesyri, as he impresses in Turkey.

The 27-year-old, who has been dubbed “incredible” by David Moyes, joined the Turkish giants in the summer transfer window from Sevilla, and he has become a real hit for Fenerbahçe under José Mourinho.

The forward has scored an impressive 15 goals in just 22 Süper Lig games, as Mourinho’s side try to chase down Galatasaray at the top of the table, but his real claim to fame was his form in the 2022 World Cup, where his headed finish for Morocco against Portugal saw him jump to 2.78 meters, higher than Cristiano Ronaldo’s famous header against Sampdoria.

The Morocco international spent all his career in Spain before moving to Turkey, so he is a player that has never played in the Premier League before. However, the physical power and ability in the air he possesses means he could fit perfectly into the Premier League, standing at 6 foot 2.

The Red Devils need to add more power to their forward line in the summer, and while En-Nesyri may not be their preferred choice to lead the line, he could be a very useful back-up option for Amorim. However, he would be a costly backup, as a team from Saudi Arabia bid 35 million euros (£28m) in the summer, and that was knocked back by Fenerbahce.
