Forget Zlatan And Rooney – Here Are 3 Forwards Manchester United Should Target In The January Transfer Window

Romelu Lukaku

The Belgian striker has impressed for Everton this season. He looks to be a changed player and is putting away chances unlike before. He lost his way a bit in the middle but new Everton manager Ronald Koeman seems to have made a big impact in how the former Chelsea player plays. Lukaku was linked with a big-money return to Chelsea, but that didn’t happen as they instead chose to spend half of what they might have spent on their former player, on his compatriot Michy Batshuayi. Everton currently sits level on points with Manchester United and this could be something that hinders any possible transfer.

Koeman has recently gone on to state that Romelu Lukaku won’t be able to fulfil his ultimate potential if he stays at Everton forever and this could be a sign of an impending transfer away from Everton for the big Belgian. Although it was Jose Mourinho that let him go at Chelsea, the manager with Juan Mata has shown that he is adaptable with former players of his.

Andre Silva

If you thought Andre Silva was the cheapest option United have, then think again as this Portuguese wonder striker has a 60 million release clause in his contract. He only made his debut for Porto FC last season, but such has been his rise that he finds himself being a starter for the Portugal national team along with also being a prime player for Porto, where he has consistently found the back of the net this season. At 6’1, he has decent aerial prowess which should help him in the Premier League.

More than anything, it is his instinctive goal scoring qualities that will immensely help him in England if he made the move. Jose Mourinho would surely love to work with a young compatriot of his and have a big influence on his career. He has also been targeted by Arsenal and a couple of other clubs, so if Manchester United want to bring him in, they will need to act fast before another club pounces.
