Manchester United are reportedly planning a shock move to secure Galatasaray’s prolific striker Mauro Icardi on loan.
The team, currently positioned seventh in the Premier League, is experiencing a challenging season, intensifying the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag.
United’s quest for a dependable striker is evident, with summer recruit Rasmus Hojlund yet to make a significant domestic impact, despite his Champions League successes.
With Anthony Martial’s future at Old Trafford in doubt, Ten Hag’s search for a new forward has led to Icardi.
The 30-year-old Argentine, known for his striking prowess, has rediscovered his form in Turkey, boasting 17 goals and six assists in 25 appearances this season. Icardi’s winning track record, including eight major trophies, could infuse a much-needed victorious spirit in Manchester United’s squad.
Football Transfers reports that United’s interest is fueled by Icardi’s past inclination towards joining them and his ambition for new challenges. If United can persuade Galatasaray to part with Icardi in January, it could prove a crucial move in bolstering their attack for the season’s remainder.
