Manchester United are set to battle Real Madrid in the race to sign Ajax wonderkid Kasper Dolberg in the January transfer window. The Red Devils are seriously interested in the services of Dolberg but face stiff competition from European champions Real Madrid and German giants Borussia Dortmund.
The 20-year-old striker from Ajax has been one of the most dazzling attacking sensations in the Eredivisie for the past 12 months or so. Since making his debut in 2016, the youngster has already notched up an impressive 28 goals in just 68 competitive matches wearing the Ajax kit. His stunning performances in the Dutch top flight has attracted interests from several top clubs around Europe.
Manchester United have been looking for a talented attacker in the market for quite some time now and Kasper Dolberg could perfectly fit the needs of the PL giants.
Dolberg is currently contracted to the Eredivisie giants until 2021, meaning he could really cost a fortune, especially with all the perennial giants of European football vying for his signature. However, a move for Kasper Dolberg could make a whole lot of sense for the Red Devils.
Manchester United, despite a stunning start to the season, are now lagging behind their noisy neighbours Manchester City as the PL frontrunners are running away with an eight-point lead over the Red Devils.
Offensive shortcomings have been one of the primary reasons for Manchester United’s rather awkward form against the PL top six, especially under the tutelage of Jose Mourinho.
Even though the Manchester giants boasts one of the most feared attacking lines in the Premier League with the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Zlatan Ibrahimovic leading the line, the lack of a creative spark has often been the reason of their demise.
Kasper Dolberg could be the perfect man to get rid of their offensive frailties. While he may seem like a prolific striker on paper, the ground reality is totally different. The Dutch starlet is much more than just a striker, as he has this unique ability to set up play and link up with other creative midfielders in order to provide more chances for his team.
Not only does he have the temperament, but he also has the ingenuity of knowing exactly where to position himself in order to create more spaces for his teammates. Put simply, Kasper Dolberg could prove to be just the kind of a striker Manchester United have been looking for a long time now and acquiring the services of the 20-year-old should definitely be a priority for the Red Devils in the upcoming January transfer window.
