Therefore, new manager, Ruben Amorim needs to improve the quality of the offense at Man Utd and the name of Ademola Lookman is in the focus.
According to an exclusive story covered by Caught Offside, Atalanta value the Nigerian international, who has been in brilliant form, at around £49.9m-£58.2m.
It is stated that Man Utd are ready to agree the fee required to secure the signing of Lookman, but they face competition from Real Madrid and PSG.
The 27-year-old attacker, who can play through the center and on the left flank, directly contributed in 27 goals last term and scored a sublime hat-trick in the Europa League final win over Bayer Leverkusen.
Atalanta are currently leading the goalscoring charts in Italy with 31 goals in 12 fixtures, but they are a point behind league leaders, Napoli, at the moment.
Thus far, the former Leicester City man has started 13 games for the Bergamo club in all competitions and directly contributed in as many goals (8 goals and 5 assists).
The arrival of Lookman would largely strengthen the quality and depth of the attack but can Man Utd beat the competition from Champions League clubs to get his signing done? We shall see.
