3 strikers Manchester United can bring in as alternatives for Darwin Nunez

Manchester United

According to reports, Darwin Nunez is set to snub Manchester United for a move to arch-rivals Liverpool. Klopp’s side offers the player Champions League football and is clearly better equipped to fight for trophies as Manchester United begin their rebuild under the new ear of Eric ten Hag.

3 alternatives of Darwin Nunez for Manchester United

1. Harry Kane

Harry Kane has seen a resurgence in his form since the arrival of Antonio Conte at Tottenham Hotspurs. The Englishman has praised his Italian boss on multiple occasions. However, Kane is yet to get his hands on any kind of silverware with Tottenham and Manchester United could tempt him with a move to Old Trafford.

Kane is one of the best strikers in Europe and his stats speak for themselves. 247 Goals and 61 assists in 380 games for Spurs. While it may cost a fortune, Manchester United could surely make a move for the 28-year-old.

2. Victor Osimhen

Victor Osimhen joined Napoli in 2020 for a hefty fee of €75 million. After a disappointing first season, the Nigerian has hit the ground running for the Naples side. However, as much as Napoli would like to keep the 23-year-old, Osimhen could also be tempted to sign for Manchester United should they come knocking.

Osimhen has also been linked with Arsenal after a good season with Napoli. The striker was involved in 16 goals in 27 appearances in the Serie A this season. His tall and built physique would be perfect for ten Hag’s system at Old Trafford.

3. Christopher Nkunku

Christopher Nkuku probably had one of the best seasons among all the attackers in Europe this season. 35 goals and 16 assists as a second striker are just too good for any player. At 24, Nkunku could also fit perfectly in Eric ten Hag’s system and form a good partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Nkunku has been admired by many clubs across Europe. Hence, Manchester United won’t just find it costly but also difficult to secure the services of the Frenchman.
