In their pursuit of bolstering their attacking options during the January transfer window, Manchester United, led by manager Erik ten Hag, secured the services of young talent Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta in the summer. Despite the 20-year-old Dane impressing with five goals in the Champions League, he is yet to find the net in the Premier League. While there were summer rumors linking United to Harry Kane, who eventually joined Bayern Munich, the team has struggled for goals, with Hojlund and captain Bruno Fernandes leading the charts with five goals each. Marcus Rashford, a standout with 30 goals last season, has faced challenges in replicating his previous form, managing only two goals so far in the current campaign.
Amidst this, there are reports linking Stuttgart’s 27-year-old striker, Serhou Guirassy, to Manchester United’s interest. Guirassy, having a stellar season, scoring 16 goals in all competitions for Stuttgart, is reportedly “flattered” by the attention from United. The club, along with Newcastle United, is said to be interested in the player, and rumors suggest a transfer fee of £15 million. Stuttgart manager Sebastian Hoeness acknowledged the unpredictability of football, not ruling out a potential move for Guirassy in January. While expressing hopes that the striker stays with Stuttgart, Hoeness acknowledged the complexities of predicting player movements in football.
Guirassy’s impressive goal-scoring form has attracted attention, making him an appealing target for United. As they aim to enhance their striking options, discussions about a potential move for Guirassy could intensify during the January transfer window, adding an exciting dimension to United’s quest for attacking talent in their pursuit of success.
