As the sporting director addresses transfer potential, Man Utd ‘identifies’ a short-term striker answer

Manchester United is currently getting ready to travel to South Wales for their FA Cup match against Newport County this coming weekend. The Premier League’s winter break gave Erik ten Hag’s team last weekend off. They will learn on Monday night if their time off will result in a slide in the standings.

Since the FA Cup is essentially United’s sole remaining source of hardware, they will probably take the competition seriously. We have compiled all of the most recent Old Trafford news in the interim.

Chopo-Moting

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, a seasoned player for Bayern Munich, is reportedly a target for United. According to Seb Ecrivain, United has’made contact’ over a potential loan arrangement.

Rasmus Hojlund, a summer acquisition that the Red Devils have struggled to score goals from thus far, but they could add competition with the 34-year-old Moating, and they could do so without going over budget or acquiring a long-term replacement for Hojlund, who will require regular opportunities. However, in just 21 games this season, the seasoned forward has only managed three goals, with the majority of those games coming from the bench.

Araujo is not recommended.

Over the past week or so, United has been connected to a transfer for Ronald Raujo, a top player for Barcelona. Ten Hag is reportedly eager to bolster his defense, but it appears the transaction is off to a bad start. This is due to Barca CEO Deco’s denial that he will sell the Uruguayan.

“Bayern want Ronald Araujo?” he asked. We have no intention of selling him. He cannot be purchased. He is one of Barcelona’s most important players going forward. Every day, it is evident that we want him to be happy. There’s nothing to discuss.
