Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag wants to improve the team's attacking efficiency and has two notable names in his sights: FC Bayern Munich's Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Sporting CP's Marcus Edwards. According to FootballTransfers sources, Bayern's experienced striker Choupo-Moting is popular with Ten Hag, who is looking to strengthen the forward line, especially given the difficulties faced by Anthony Martial.
Manchester United have struggled to score goals this season and are looking for solutions in the loan market due to the financial constraints of Fair Play. Ten Hag has expressed a desire to improve Martial's performance since arriving at the club, but difficulties selling players have put a damper on his plans.
Ten Hag wants a new striker
The option for a six-month loan is Choupo-Moting, who will use his experience and fitness to strengthen the team in the final phase of the season. Additionally, Manchester United is exploring the possibility of signing Marcus Edwards from Sporting CP, a versatile winger who could provide attacking solutions.
Although the signing of Edwards could be completed in the summer, it is estimated that Manchester United could complete a deal worth around £30 million. Edwards, 25, has excelled in the Portuguese league, scoring 11 goals in 26 games this season. His versatility and scoring ability make him an attractive option for Ten Hag's team, which is looking for effective solutions to strengthen its attack and achieve its goals in the second half of the season.
