Manchester: Manchester United is facing challenges in their pursuit of a new striker. The club is considering ending their interest in Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface due to concerns about his injury history.
Ruben Amorim, the new manager, is still getting to know his players and their weaknesses. After a tough 2-0 loss to Arsenal, it’s clear that the team needs fresh talent in attack.
In that match, players like Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee, and Marcus Rashford struggled against Arsenal’s strong defense. The team needs to improve their attacking options.
Boniface, who has scored 29 goals in 49 games, is on their radar. However, reports suggest he is not their top priority right now. The club is worried about his injury record.
At just 23 years old, Boniface has already faced two serious knee injuries. This history is making Manchester United cautious about pursuing him further.
In recent seasons, the club has dealt with many injury problems. Key players like Luke Shaw and Lisandro Martinez have missed significant time due to injuries.
United cannot afford to add another player who might frequently be sidelined. They need reliable players to strengthen their squad.
Due to Amorim’s connection, they are also looking at Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres as a potential target. However, they face competition from Manchester City for his signature.
In addition to searching for a striker, United is also considering signing a replacement for the injury-prone Shaw in the upcoming January transfer window.
