Manchester United

Deal signed: Paperworks and official announcement soon, Manchester United set to complete first summer transfer in coming days

Manchester United only scored 57 goals in the Premier League last season and apart from Crystal Palace, all the teams in the top 10 had more goals than the Red Devils.

Therefore, Erik ten Hag seriously needs to reinforce the offense in the summer if he wants the team to challenge the best of clubs in the country next season.

If reports in the media are anything to go by then Man Utd are prepared to make an offer that would be close to the terms Atalanta have set for the transfer of Ademola Lookman.

According to Calcio Mercato, the Bergamo side have slapped a price tag of 60 million euros on the Nigerian international.

The fee is too big for the clubs in Italy but for the English sides, it is affordable.

It is stated that Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea are willing to submit offers close to the asking fee of 60 million euros to hire the services of Lookman.

The 26-year-old African is a versatile talent, who can play as a winger, a secondary striker and even as an out and out center forward.

Last season, the former Leicester City playmaker, netted 17 goals in all competitions for Atalanta, including a world class hat-trick in the final of the Europa Leaugue.

Moreover, Lookman also provided 10 assists for La Dea under the guidance of Italian manager, Gasperini.

At Old Trafford, Rashford needs to improve big time after an average campaign last term, on the other hand, Antony, Sancho and Greenwood should be offloaded.

In your view, is Ademola Lookman good enough to strengthen the Man Utd attack?
