Manchester United monitoring Roma striker Tammy Abraham and more transfer rumours

Manchester United are continuing to monitor the progress of Roma striker Tammy Abraham ahead of a potential summer move for the player, according to reports.

As reported by the Athletic, the Reds have had scouts in attendance at Roma's matches on several occasions this season, with Erik ten Hag targeting a new striker in the summer transfer window. The Manchester Evening News understands that the Dutchman wants at least two significant signings in the summer to maintain the club's momentum next season.

United have prioritised a new goalscorer, with Wout Weghorst - who is on loan from Burnley - and Anthony Martial currently the only senior strikers at the club. The report also claims that Chelsea retain an interest in Abraham, with the London club able to re-sign the frontman for €80million in July.
