Manchester United wrapped up a lackluster Premier League campaign with a victory, yet their eighth-place finish marked their lowest ever in the league’s history. The team’s struggle to find the net was a recurring theme, as they managed to score the fewest goals among the top-10 teams.
Despite a challenging debut season, Rasmus Hojlund emerged as the top scorer with 16 goals, but he still needs time to adapt to the rigors of the Premier League. With Anthony Martial on his way out and Marcus Rashford underperforming, uncertainties loom over the forward line.
Manager Erik ten Hag has long sought reinforcements, but support from the Glazers has been lacking. However, with new owners INEOS expected to invest, United is eyeing Viktor Gyokeres and Evanilson to bolster their attack.
Gyokeres, the top scorer in Portugal with 29 goals for Sporting CP, comes with an £85.6 million release clause, attracting interest from Europe’s elite. Evanilson, with 24 goals and six assists for Porto, offers a different dimension with his passing and link-up play.
While both players could enhance United’s attack, financial constraints and INEOS’s preference for Premier League experience could complicate any potential deals, adding intrigue to United’s summer transfer plans.
