Not too long ago, Icardi was one of the most highly-rated strikers in all of Europe and almost every top club was linked with the then Inter Milan star. Ultimately, he would end up joining Paris Saint-Germain. The move has not gone as most would have expected though.

Icardi made a bright start in Paris but his form has faded away over time and now, he is being linked with a move away from the club.

Manchester United have one of the best forward lines in the Premier League right now, having the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani, Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial, all capable of playing up front.

But despite that, Manchester United have struggled in front of goal and have scored more than one goal in only one game since the arrival of Ralf Rangnick as the club’s interim manager.

On top of that, Martial and Cavani are being heavily linked with moves away as well and might not be at Old Trafford come next season.

Icardi is someone who could be a solid addition for this Manchester United side. Although he might be controversial, there is no question about his ability to find the back of the net.

Boubacar Kamara

Kamara might be the easiest to sign out of the three players mentioned on this list. The Marseille star’s current deal is set to run out next summer meaning that he could potentially even leave in January if the right offer is made.

Manchester United have been linked with Kamara for several weeks now and it must be said that he has been a standout in Ligue 1 in recent times.

Thus, he could be a solid addition to Manchester United’s midfield, which is not the club’s strongest area at this point of time. It remains to be seen though what the future holds.
