These are the two strikers Manchester United could sign in the summer
By Bence Bocsak
Manchester United are rumoured to be targeting two strikers in the summer transfer window, here’s who the two strikers could be.
As the January window was edging closer and closer to the end, Manchester United were in a huge predicament. With Marcus Rashford ruled out for potentially the remainder of the season, they needed a striker. Director Ed Woodward knocked on the door of Edinson Cavani, but alas he was rebuffed. He tried for Moussa Dembele but he was sent packing. Finally he went to China and came back with Odion Ighalo.
The name did not bring much excitement to the Old Trafford faithful. The Nigerian after all seems to be winding his career down. Yet with the determination Ighalo has shown so far he might just suffice until the summer.

When the summer does indeed come rolling around, Ed Woodward will have another opportunity to recruit the forwards Manchester United truly need. According to reports the club will target two strikers to sign.
One hopes that is indeed the case.
The Red Devils are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements.
According to the Manchester Evening News Moussa Dembele of Lyon ‘could be’ the first striker United will target. Moussa Dembele is an exciting prospect who has played in England before for Fulham as well as having a successful spell with Celtic. Now in France he has continued his prolific form.
His pace and direct playing style could be an ideal fit for the Red Devils.
The other striker who United could target is Jadon Sancho. The young English international is ‘expected to leave’ Dortmund in the summer according to Sky Germany via Sky Sports and has been heavily ‘linked’ with Manchester United.
The Red Devils have certainly lacked the creative flair which Jadon Sancho would bring to the side and it is easy to see why they could move for him in the summer.
Both Sancho and Dembele would be ideal options and the two additions could certainly help the Red Devils to get back to where they belong.
