Man Utd Go ahead in the Race to Sign French Striker

Manchester United is shifting its focus to Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike after Viktor Gyökeres rejected a move to Old Trafford.

The Red Devils have reportedly made “concrete moves” to sign the 22-year-old French striker.

Ekitike has impressed several top European clubs with his performances for Eintracht Frankfurt.

The club has placed a hefty €100 million price tag on him, but United’s swift action suggests they’re keen to secure a long-term solution up front.

Manchester United’s attacking department struggled to find consistency last season, and signing Ekitike could address this issue.

The reported “concrete moves” indicate that discussions are progressing, potentially involving formal approaches to the player’s representatives and Frankfurt.

After the disappointment of the Gyökeres situation, Manchester United is now committed to signing Ekitike.

The coming days will reveal the extent of their efforts and whether they’ll succeed in landing the young striker.
