According to OffsideManchester United is planning a surprise movement to sign Hilal -striker Aleksandar Mitrovic during the current summer transfer window.
The Red Devils have given priority to strengthening their attack this summer and they have already signed Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. A new center-forward can also be the target and Offside claim that mitrovic is on their radar.
In the past, Mitrovic has a huge Premier League experience with Fulham and Newcastle United, and United seems to be open to bring him back to the English top flight while looking for another striking option alongside Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.
The Red Devils are not only interested in the race with Tottenham Hotspur. Newcastle also loves a possible reunion, but a deal can depend on a partial exchange transfer in which Alexander Isak is involved. Al Hilal and Newcastle are owned by the Saudi Public Investment Fund.
Surprise movement
United was initially interested in landing from Liam Delap from Ipswich Town this summer, but Chelsea beat them to his signature. The club was then connected to Hugo Ekitike and Viktor Gyokeres, but the couple chose to become a member of Liverpool and Arsenal respectively.
The Mancunian giants look at other alternatives. Benjamin Sesko, Nicolas Jackson and Ollie Watkins have been emphasized as possible goals, but the athletic journalist David Ornstein recently claimed that The trio is over United’s transfer budget if things stand.
That is why it will not be a surprise if United is considering an approach for Mitrovic. The Serbian yielded 15 goals in his last campaign in Fulham before moving to Al Hilal in 2023. He has been brilliant for the Saudi Pro League Giants with 40 goals and 28 goals in the last two seasons.
United could bring him back to the Premier League this summer if he is willing to accept a huge wage reduction. A deal can also depend on the fact that Hilal already agrees with a transfer of £ 20 million or less. The Red Devils may see him as a competitor of Hojlund and Zirkzee instead of a guaranteed starter.
The Red Devils have focused on signing players with Premier League experience. Cunha and Mbeumo must be excellent additions to the front line, and it is still to be seen whether United has a genuine interest in Mitrovic and continues with a formal step to land his services.
