After losing Viktor Gökeres, Manchester United have reportedly reopened talks to strengthen their attacking options. It appears the club are in talks with Aston Villa over a potential move for Ollie Watkins.
The Red Devils are determined to bolster their attacking options after a poor season, although any deal could depend on player sales first. And according to talkSPORT, United have reopened talks with Aston Villa over a potential move for striker Watkins. The 29-year-old scored 16 goals and provided eight assists last season but has seen his playing time reduced following the arrival of Marcus Rashford on loan at Villa Park.
Villa value the England international at £60m and have expressed an interest in United winger Alejandro Garnacho. The Red Devils' current strikers, Rasmus Hejlund and Joshua Zirkzee, have scored just four and three league goals respectively as the club finished 15th last season. Despite spending over £125m this summer, United are still looking for a proven No.9 ahead of the new campaign. Sales – Before investing, United should actually sell.
Players like Garnaço, Sanço, Antoni and Malacia have been on the market for a long time and need to be found the most advantageous arrangement. Also, young defender Hari Amas has not been included in the squad for United's American tour, because the club has decided to send him on loan for the 2025-26 season.
Meanwhile, new signings Diego Leon, Kunja and Brian Mbeumo are all part of the squad in Chicago, while the club's managers are working in England, for the incoming and, above all, outgoing transfer market. Any dilemma over the future of defender Maguire, who was rumored to be leaving after not initially traveling with the team on the tour, has been eliminated. However, he traveled later to settle in with the other players, under the orders of coach Amorim, who continues to maintain contact with the transfer market managers who are in Manchester.
