Manchester United need a striker to join, there is nothing to hide about this matter, all the giants in Europe know about it. Previously, Manchester United and Dutch striker Gakpo even reached the point of reaching a deal, but before January, Liverpool directly signed the 23-year-old Eindhoven striker, directly intercepting Manchester United. According to reports from the English media, the main reason why they were unable to sign their favorite striker was that Manchester United did not have enough transfer fee budget. To put it simply, Manchester United had no money.
From the beginning of this season, Manchester United's position in the striker line is actually not particularly stable. Their current offensive firepower can only be ranked in the middle of the entire Premier League . This performance is enough to show their weakness on the offensive end. The reason why Manchester United urgently need to sign a stable striker. The reason why Gakpo came into Manchester United's field of vision, in addition to his outstanding performance in the World Cup, is mainly his performance in the league. It can be seen from the statistics that from last season to now, Gakpo has played 41 games , scored 21 goals and sent 25 assists.
It's a pity that such an outstanding Jacques has no chance with Manchester United, and it's because of the transfer fee. Although the two sides of the transaction did not disclose the specific transfer fee, judging from media reports, the transfer fee for Jacques to join Liverpool is about 50 million pounds. This price is actually not high, especially in the current world. In the case of a serious premium for an excellent shooter in the world, the price of 50 million can be said to be very cost-effective. After all, whether it is Nunes or Anthony , they are all shooters with a transfer fee of about 100 million euros.
According to the general situation, as the top giants of the Premier League, Manchester United should not lack transfer fees. However, looking at the current status of Manchester United is still very complicated. Their actual owners Glazer family will sell the club, and they have not invested in Manchester United, so the club's financial situation is not ideal. On the other hand, Manchester United's performance in recent seasons has not been good. They have also carried out a lot of operations in the transfer market, and it is difficult to have too much transfer fee budget.
During the transfer period before the start of this season, Manchester United introduced Anthony, Casemiro, and others. The strength of the team has been improved to a certain extent, but this also means that their transfer fee budget will not be particularly sufficient. Moreover, another center player in the Manchester United lineup, Martial , has returned from injury. Judging from the latest league game, Martial can still adapt to the role in Ten Hag's tactical system. Nei can also assume the responsibility of the team's offense. Manchester United only needs to rent players during the winter transfer period to achieve their goals.
