Sweden's Holan aims for Manchester United's realistic target, second place in Bundesliga score

Apr 15, 2025

Manchester United is stepping up its efforts to recruit a striker.

A new candidate was mentioned. Partique Sikh is a Czech striker from Leverkusen. On the 15th (Korea time), Germany's Sky Sports reported that `Manchester United has put Sikh as a candidate for recruitment this summer.'

As is known, Manchester United's top priority this summer is a special striker. United remain in 14th place, their worst this season. He replaced coach Erik ten Hach and brought in coach Huvin Amorim, who is called the next generation master, but there was no rebound. Manchester United's concern is, again, a goal. With 38 goals, he remains in 15th place with the most goals scored. Manchester United have invested a large amount of money in recruiting young strikers such as Rasmus Hoylun and Joshua Girkj over the past two seasons, but their recruitment was a clear failure. The two players scored only three goals side by side in the league this season.

For next season's turnaround, recruiting top-striker is a must, not an option. Manchester United's top target is Victor Jockeres, Amorim's love interest. Joquez, who plays for Sporting, has a remarkable scoring capacity of one goal per game. He is the hottest striker in Europe. The problem is competition. It is no exaggeration to say that all big clubs who want strikers want yokeres.

In addition to this player, Manchester United is also targeting Victor Osimhen, who was revived in Galatasaray. Osimhen is also being courted by Chelsea and Arsenal. As expected, it is bound to cost a huge transfer fee. As Manchester United has been suffering from financial difficulties recently, it has to be burdensome.

Seek has been caught on Manchester United's radar, which has turned realistically. Sikh is the top striker in the German Bundesliga. He also scored 17 goals this season, ranking second in the Bundesliga after Harry Kane. Frequent injuries are a blemish, but they are definitely as decisive as they are. In the 2021-2022 season, he scored as many as 24 goals. It has been recognized for its competitiveness in the big leagues over the years.

Sikh's contract with Leverkusen expires in 2027. For Leverkusen, this summer is the right time to sell chic. Chic has long expressed his admiration for the English stage. Currently courted by Saudi Arabian clubs, Sikh wants to stay in Europe. Manchester United is prioritizing young strikers for now, but if it doesn't go its way, it is likely to turn toward Chic.

Chic's transfer fee is estimated at 25 million euros to 30 million euros. From Manchester United's point of view, it is certainly an easy amount. The two sides are said to have already discussed once.
