Coach Ruben Amorim is looking for a new striker, MU has just made a decision to recruit Juventus Dusan Vlahovic this summer.
Coach Ruben Amorim is determined to welcome a new striker to Old Trafford this summer, after the current number one striker Rasmus Hojlund spent the 2024/25 season disappointed. Hojlund was brought from Atalanta in 2023 with a £ 72 million contract, but only scored 4 goals in the Premier League last season.
The bad performance of Hojlund made MU score only 44 goals after 38 rounds, their worst achievement in the Premier League era. And the disappointment of the attack made MU only ranked 15th in the rankings. Amorim hoped to reunite with Viktor Gyokeres, but the Swedish player refused the Red Devils to move to Arsenal.

MU made a decision to recruit Dusan Vlahovic. |
Since then, MU has made many moves related to Benjamin Sesko but faced fierce competition from Newcastle. Sesko did not have an impressive scoring record like Gyokeres, but has contributed 39 goals in the last two seasons and at the age of 22, he could still be better.
MU has identified Sesko as a priority target for the striker position after not very interested in Aston Villa and Nicolas Jackson's Ollie Watkins and Nicolas Jackson. But Newcastle seems to be leading the battle to win Sesko's signature, so the Red Man must also turn to some new players.
MU is said to be interested in Dusan Vlahovic, who is not used at Juventus. The 25 -year -old has scored 58 goals after 145 appearances for Juventus since the completion of the £ 66 million transfer deal from Fiorentina by 2022, but currently he is no longer the No. 1 choice in the highest position in the attack.
Speaking last week, the CEO of Juventus, Damien Comolli confirmed the club would sell Vlahovic this summer if they received a good offer. According to Italy's Tuttosport, MU refused to sign a contract with Vlahovic, telling Juventus that they currently focus on Sesko.
The Red Man only considers to recruit Serbian strikers if they lose to Newcastle in the Sesko deal. Vlahovic was contacted by Arsenal a lot before and after moving to Juventus by 2022, while Chelsea considered the transfer of this striker before signing a contract with Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.
