Goal-shy Man Utd ‘draw up THREE-MAN striker shortlist as transfer chiefs desperately seek support for Rasmus Hojlund’

Club feel the young striker could benefit from playing with an experienced frontman

MANCHESTER UNITED reportedly have a three-man shortlist to strengthen their attack in January.

The Red Devils have struggled for goals this season with Marcus Rashford the only recognised forward in the squad with a Premier League goal to his name.

Rasmus Hojlund has scored three goals in Europe since his blockbuster summer arrival but it is understood the club are keen to sign a striker to support the young Dane.

It is felt there is too much of a burden on Hojlund’s young shoulders to score goals, and United feel he could learn from playing alongside an experienced frontman.

According to the Daily Mail, United already have several targets in mind who they could try to sign when the transfer window re-opens.

One is long-term target – Napoli striker Victor Osimhen who finished as Serie A’s top goalscorer last season.

Napoli slapped a huge asking price on the Nigerian in the summer but a recent fallout means they may now be more willing to listen to offers.

If not, the Red Devils could splash out on Brentford star Ivan Toney, who will be free from his gambling ban.

However recent reports claim the Bees could demand £100million to let the England international leave.

And with United also keen to sign a world class centre-back like Edmond Tapsoba or Jean-Clair Todibo, they could decide to bring in a striker on a budget.

Porto hitman Mehdi Taremi is also understood to be on the club’s radar.

The Iranian, 31, is out of contract at the end of the season and was linked with a move to Old Trafford in the summer.
