Man United can finally complete Harry Kane transfer mission with £75m Arsenal hijack

Manchester United have struggled to find a prolific striker capable of successfully overcoming the weight that comes with leading the line at Old Trafford.

Without Cristiano Ronaldo, Romelu Lukaku, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcus Rashford, United have had many strikers come and fail. Edinson Cavani, despite seeming at the time to be prolific, scored just 19 goals whereas Antony Martial's difficulties ended in him leaving the club for nothing.

Two years ago, United coughed up £72million to bring Rasmus Hojlund to the club. The then-20-year-old had scored 10 goals for Atalanta after five with Copenhagen and 12 at Sturm Graz. When you look at the numbers, it's quite remarkable that he cost so much.

Following a season where he showed plenty of promise and clinical eye for goal, Hojlund struggled in his second campaign. The Denmark international scored just four Premier League goals and is one of the players United would happily sell this summer.

Matheus Cunha's signing from Wolves bolsters United's attack but the priority is adding to the Brazilian. Bryan Mbeumo is likely to be the next new face through the door but a centre-forward is expected to follow and it's difficult to know which one they want.

Liam Delap was the first number one target before he signed for Chelsea and Viktor Gyokeres is reportedly targeting a move to Arsenal. There remains other targets like Victor Osimhen and Hugo Ekitike, but United have been known for pulling off some outrageous deals.

Previously, Harry Kane was United's number one target. It was reported that they failed to bring him to Old Trafford under Erik ten Hag prior to his move to Bayern Munich, deciding against spending £100m for one of the world's best to save £28m to sign Hojlund.
