Latest, Rio Ferdinand has supported an effort to sign a contract with this 29 -year -old MU, he said: “I am very greedy, I still think MU needs an additional striker. I think Gyokeres is a very good player, but I don't think he is suitable for MU.
We need an experienced person, whom the young striker at the club can learn. Ollie Watkins proved its ability in the Premier League, playing in the Champions League last year, playing stable for a while, playing for England. He meets all criteria that MU needs.
Victor Osimhen is clearly my first choice, but he signed a contract with Galatasaray. Now if I can sign a contract with Watkins for a reasonable fee, I think MU should consider. He was 29 years old, but he could make an immediate influence.
Ollie Watkins, Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus CuHa can combine well together, which will be the quality addition to MU's attack. ”
