According to The Telegraph, MU has moved to the Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins, and the Red Devils also received an answer from the Villa Park team.
Coach Ruben Amorim wants MU to add a new striker to the squad before the Premier League of the new season started. The Red Devils recruited Matheus Cuha and Bryan Mbuemo to upgrade the attack, but the Portuguese coach wanted to have more strikers to reduce the burden on Rasmus Hojlund, who only scored 4 goals in the Premier League last season.
Until this summer, MU was rejected by Liam Delap, the striker joined Chelsea with a contract worth £ 30 million from Ipswich Town, while Hugo Ekitike rejected the offer from Amorim's team and chose to move to Liverpool.
