Manchester United preparing ‘large investment’ on England striker with intriguing buyback clause

Manchester United are ready to go all out to sign Roma striker Tammy Abraham this summer, claims a report.

United are looking for a striker this summer, Ralf Rangnick has made that much clear. With Edinson Cavani set to leave, Mason Greenwood unavailable and the future of Cristiano Ronaldo far from secure, United need a new No.9.

The search will undoubtedly be underway, but United do have a new manager to appoint first. Football director John Murtough is looking at potential targets. And a report in Italy suggests Abraham is a real target.

“Many clubs” have asked about the former Chelsea man, and the Corriere dello Sport explains that Manchester United are “ready to launch a large investment to bring him back to the Premier League immediately”.

There’s no doubt that interest has spiked since his £34m move to Rome last summer. None of the big guns in the Premier League were prepared to take Abraham in the summer and instead he joined Jose Mourinho in Serie A.

Abraham has blasted 23 goals in 40 games, including 15 goals in Serie A.

His impressive tally puts him ahead of the legendary Gabriel Batistuta when it comes to Roma goals in a debut season. And that form has sparked interest from Old Trafford.

But Abraham will not be easy to lure from the Italian capital. The report suggests Mourinho would be loathed to lose the forward after one season.
