According to the Sun, Manchester United has now turned their attention to Watford attacker Ismaila Sarr this summer.
After scoring a goal of the season contender against West Brom yesterday night, the Senegalese player made his way onto Erik ten Hag’s shortlist. The Dutchman needs to bolster his attacking options at Old Trafford as his side lost against Brighton.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at Old Trafford is hanging by a thread and Marcus Rashford continues to battle with his form and conditioning. Additionally, Anthony Martial is sidelined with an injury.
Ten Hag needs to sign a top-tier, adaptable attacker who can play everywhere around the front line if United wants to have a successful 2022–23 season on all fronts this year. And we think Ismaila Sarr might be the ideal candidate for the position.
The 24-year-old has an explosive pace and terrifying finishing abilites. In 94 games for the Hornets, the 24-year-old has scored 25 goals and provided 19 assists. In 22 Premier League appearances last season, he scored five goals and provided two assists.
With his quickness and extremely direct playing style, he would be a huge asset to Manchester United’s lineup. The United board would need to act swiftly in order to secure any move. However, these are just initial rumors and it remains to be seen whether the club actually prefers to proceed with a bid.
