Apparently, the ghosts of third season syndrome are being replaced by the first season syndrome for José Mourinho. Considering the amount of money that was invested in roping spectacular players, including Paul Pogba, for a world record transfer fee of £89.3 million, the red half of Manchester have failed to meet the requisite demands so far this season. Loitering sixth in the league table at the moment, Mourinho’s side are already eleven points behind league leaders Chelsea and if the scenario persists, managing the Manchester United might be the last high-profile job for Mourinho.
Attacking wise, the Red Devils haven’t been devilish in any manner whatsoever. Owing to the likelihood of their main striker, Zlatan Ibrahimović, quitting the club at the end of the season coupled with stagnancy of Wayne Rooney, the Portuguese is in the dire need of signing at least a couple of world-class strikers and here are three goal-scorers which the twenty-time league champions must try to lure in order to fill the void that is likely to be created after Ibrahimović’s departure.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Picking himself up from he left off last season, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been in irresistible form, having scored 13 goals in 11 appearances in the Bundesliga already this season with a shot accuracy of 65%. The Gabonese international is a dream striker who can bang goals left, right and centre. Considering the fact that he is at the vicinity of the peak time of his career and his desire to play elsewhere in Europe, he can be a gettable target, for a considerably large sum of money that is.
Harry Kane
Harry Kane is tied to Spurs until 2020 but with the wage of £60,000-a-week, the 23-year-old is believed to want an escalation in his pay for his services to the North London outfit. Daniel Levy, the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur, comprehends the scenario where their new stadium and the expenditure associated with it are being assessed.
Manchester United can pounce upon this massive opportunity of the existing conundrum that has been created by luring Kane to the Old Trafford with a hefty rise in his wages with their financial stronghold.
Frankly speaking, the Tottenham front man is a complete package (right from his precision up front to being a selfless striker) and Manchester United can, in Kane, find a replacement which they have been wishing for quite some time.
