In my opinion, the right striker for Manchester United is between Ollie Watkins and Hugo Ekitiké as it has been rumored for a long time that these two strikers are more productive than Nicolas Jackson, but I am not sure whether Manchester United can bring in one of these strikers because Aston Villa has confirmed that they will not sell Ollie Watkins, but for Hugo Ekitiké, it is still open to being sold. Frunkfurt has set a price. I think it is better for Man United to consider choosing this player because he is also being targeted by Liverpool and Chelsea, so Man United must move quickly if they want to bring him in.
I haven’t read anywhere that Aston Villa would not e selling Ollie Watkins, what I have read is that they have set an asking price which is between €60m to €70m. So for them to set this asking price it is clear that they are willing to sell him off at such price. Benjamin Sesko is also valued at same price range which means that Manchester United needs to actually make a decision between two. Personally I think Sesko will be a gamble because he is young and In my perception similar to the likes of Hojlund and Zirkzee that Manchester United already has.
While Ollie Watkins is ready premier league proven in my opinion and definitely doesn’t need settling in but seriously he is 28 and Manchester United wouldn’t get him sold back for amount. For me Manchester United should look at possibly getting Watkins for the price of €50m and sign him. He can be the experience center forward they need and also be of help for the other young strikers.
But right now left for me if Manchester United can actually sign just one player they should simply go for a midfielder, yes they already have Urgate they signed last season but it is obvious that he doesn’t seem to compliment fully Bruno in the central midfield role. The player Manchester United needs is someone that can free the Bruno and give him freedom to roam about, a young Casemiro would have solved that problem but he is old. My midfield suggestion is Baleba of Brighton I think should consider signing him or any other young midfielder before any striker signing
