Manchester United Face Major Setbacks in Striker Pursuit
Manchester United’s transfer ambitions have taken a significant hit in the past few hours as multiple setbacks emerge in their search for a new striker.
🔒 Aston Villa Block Ollie Watkins Deal
Aston Villa have made it crystal clear — Ollie Watkins is not for sale at any price. Despite United’s growing interest in the prolific English forward, Unai Emery’s side is unwilling to lose one of their most valuable assets.
💸 No Big-Money Striker Incoming
Following their £133.5 million investment in Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, Manchester United have ruled out moves for high-profile strikers such as:
Benjamin Šeško
Nicolas Jackson
Alexander Isak
With financial constraints now limiting further big-money signings, United will have to consider cheaper or alternative options if they are to strengthen their attack this summer.
🔍 What next for Erik ten Hag’s side? Could an unexpected name emerge as the solution?
