Manchester United held ‘contacts’ for striker transfer ‘in last few hours’ – Providing ‘fierce competition’

Manchester United has initiated talks regarding a potential move for VfB Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy, competing with AC Milan for his signature, as reported by TuttoMercatoWeb.

The striker’s remarkable performance in the Bundesliga, with 16 goals in 11 league games, has attracted the attention of several clubs in the upcoming January transfer window.

With a €17.5 million release clause in his contract, Guirassy is considered a low-cost option to alleviate the pressure on Rasmus Hojlund.

Recent reports indicate that Manchester United has entered into contacts for a possible transfer, posing a challenge for AC Milan.

While the exact nature of these contacts is unspecified, the engagement has commenced in the last few hours, marking a significant step forward for United.

However, they may need to sway the striker’s decision, as Guirassy is open to the prospect of playing in Italy or continuing in Germany until the season concludes.

In any case, Manchester United is now a prominent contender, providing robust competition for AC Milan, who also has the striker on their radar.
