Manchester United looking for a cheap option for a striker

Manchester United is exploring options to bolster its attack in January with minimal investments. According to “The Athletic,” four offensive footballers from the Bundesliga are among the discussed names. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Thomas Muller from Bayern Munich, Timo Werner from RB Leipzig, and the sensation Sasa Kalajdzic from Stuttgart are among the considered options.

The 34-year-old Choupo-Moting has seen fewer opportunities since Harry Kane’s transfer and Thomas Tuchel’s preference for giving more chances to the young Matis Tel. His contract with Bayern expires in the summer, making him a potentially cost-effective choice for Manchester United. The situation with Thomas Muller has changed, as he recently signed a new contract, making it unlikely for him to leave.

Timo Werner has had a challenging season, and RB Leipzig has indicated that they would loan him if they find a suitable replacement. Contacts have been established between the two clubs and the player, but Manchester United fans are not reacting positively to the transfer rumors.

Sasa Kalajdzic has attracted interest from several clubs, especially considering the relatively low release clause in his contract – 17.5 million euros. This option appears favorable for United. However, Stuttgart’s president, Alexander Wehrle, stated during Christmas that he is confident the goal-scorer will not seek a departure in January, as he and his family feel very happy in Stuttgart.
