Manchester United have scored the third fewest goals in the Premier League this season, less than two of the teams currently in the relegation zone.
Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Old Trafford featured further displays of profligacy, with Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes ignoring glorious opportunities.
Rasmus Hojlund has struggled to score goals and Joshua Zirkzee has not looked like a capable striker since his summer signing.
Ruben Amorim needs to find a solution to his goal deficit and according to Pichajes, the Portuguese is interested in signing the Red Devils striker, whom he has struggled to contain once already this season.
Omorodion ruled De Ligt.
The Old Trafford side took a two-goal lead as the 20-time English League champions were held to a thrilling 3-3 draw at Porto, but eventually gave it up and struggled to get a point.
Erik ten Hag was in charge at the time, and Samu Omorodion scored a brace to completely dominate Mathijs de Ligt, who was able to score a brace for the 20-year-old. Struggling to handle physical abilities.
Since his summer move, the Spain U21 international has already scored 11 goals in as many games and his incredible form has attracted attention from across Europe.
Apart from the Manchester giants, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested, but Porto have included a release clause of €100m, so they are not too worried as the player is currently happy with Porto.
“Current FC Porto player Samu Omorodion is attracting the attention of big European teams looking to sign up for the young Spaniard. One of them is Chelsea, managed by Enzo Maresca, who targeted him during the last transfer window.
Manchester United, Chelsea and PSG are keeping tabs on the Spaniard
“Manchester United, managed by Ruben Amorim, is in a restructuring phase and looking to strengthen the team with quality players. The emergence of a striker with Samus potential could mean a significant improvement.
“Paris Saint-Germain is focused on remaining one of the most competitive clubs in Europe. “The possibility of recruiting players with the characteristics of Samu, who combine youth and talent, could be the key to further strengthening the offense,” he said.
His release clause prevents him from achieving that at the moment, but it would be best for United to keep a close eye on his performance going forward.
The Spaniard fits INEOS’ vision of signing the best young talent, and his strong frame and eye for goal make him a great fit for Amorim’s system. The striker needs to continue to perform on the pitch and this interest could materialize into something concrete in the future.
