According to the Manchester Evening News, RB Salzburg attacker Noah Okafor is a target for Manchester United. The reports suggest that the club is considering the Swiss striker as a possible January addition.
Okafor is a flexible forward who can play a variety of attacking positions. With eight goals in 14 games this season, he has a stellar scoring record. The 22-year-old has demonstrated his prowess at the greatest level by scoring three goals in the Champions League.
The Swiss star would add some dynamism and sharpness to United’s forward line, making him a terrific addition. The Red Devils would have a reason to sign him since they are already prepared to let Cristiano Ronaldo leave in January.
Erik ten Hag would largely benefit from having a young untouched player at his disposal. He possesses exceptional technique, raw speed, and the potential to wreak havoc in the Premier League.
However, United will have to move quickly to complete the transfer because clubs like Newcastle United and Leeds United have expressed interest in the player.
Currently, the club has Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial as options but both strikers have come under scrutiny for their largely inconsistent performances. It remains to be seen whether the Red Devils take the first step in securing a deal for the RB Salzburg striker.
