Despite having quite a busy summer transfer window, Manchester United know that they still have work to do to bolster the existing squad.
It is not just the first XI that needs to look strong on paper. A well-rounded squad is needed for long-term success.
Transfer – Man Utd determined to beat Liverpool and sign £42million star – Report
Dan Ashworth, being the shrewd negotiator that he is, would already be planning for successive transfer windows, looking at potential targets that the club can try and sign. It looks like he might cast his net in Serie A.
Lecce striker Nikola Krstovic is ready to agree on a move to Manchester United. The talented, 24-year-old marksman has scored two goals in five appearances so far this season and would entertain this possibility.
The player has openly admitted that it is his dream to play for Manchester United, which is a clear ‘come-get-me-plea’. The Red Devils are likely to keep tabs on how he progresses this season before making a call on him.
Krstovic currently earns around £380,000 a year on his contract with Lecce. Should he get his desired transfer to Man Utd, one would expect the 24-year-old to get a significant pay raise as he would be playing for one of the top clubs in the world.
Although the Red Devils squad currently have both Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund as natural number nine options, the former offers the flexibility of playing in different positions. Signing someone like Krstovic could be useful for squad depth.
It is too early to be talking about a potential Nikola Krstovic move to Manchester United. How he develops in the coming months could decide his destiny and let’s see if the 24-year-old can keep constantly chipping in with goals going forward.
