Manchester United will sign sensational £60m rated star
By Bence Bocsak
Manchester United are set to be on the brink of completing their first transfer of the summer window and it is hugely exciting news for the fans.
Think of all the great Manchester United forwards of the past. George Best, Eric Cantona, Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke, Ruud Van Nisterooy and Wayne Rooney.
The Red Devils have always had some of the most fearsome goal scorers in their ranks. It is why the club were so dominant under Sir Alex Ferguson in the 90s and 00s.
Now when you think of the current forward options Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has at his disposal, there is certainly a lack of real genuine class. The irony is of course that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was a fine striker during his time at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils could certainly use a prime Solskjaer in their current squad right now.
The panic signing of Odion Ighalo demonstrates just how short of quality the club really are. And the absence of a true goalscorer has been blatantly obvious on the pitch.
Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford have both chipped in with an amicable number of goals, however it is clear when you watch them play that they are more suited to roles on the wing. Neither is comfortable playing through the middle like an out and out forward.
It’s something which Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to permanently fix in the summer transfer window and it seems that the club are already working on it.
According to Sky Sports News reporter Kaveh Solhekol via the Daily Express, Manchester United ‘will sign a striker’ in the summer and their number one target is Moussa Dembele who ‘dreams’ of playing for the club.
That will be music to Manchester United fans’ ears. It certainly seems to suggest a deal is very likely to happen.
Moussa Dembele is no stranger to English football, he begun his career at Fulham and had a hugely successful spell with Celtic.
Crucially he is comfortable playing through the middle and is a born goalscorer.
Since making the breakthrough at Fulham Moussa Dembele has hit double figures consistently in every season. All together he scored 51 goals in 94 appearances for Celtic and currently has 39 in 83 games for Lyon.
