Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham from AS Roma.
According to the Mirror, new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag could order a raid on the side’s former boss Jose Mourinho’s current club Roma. The Red Devils are said to be interested in Tammy Abraham to solve their attacking woes.
United were keen to sign a No.9 in the summer window earlier this year, with Cristiano Ronaldo well into the twilight of his career. However, Anthony Martial’s return to form in the pre-season deterred them from going all out for a new striker.
However, the Frenchman has struggled with recurring injury issues while Ronaldo is just a shadow of his former self. The Portuguese has also evidently lacked the intensity needed in Ten Hag’s system and has often been a deterrent to the team’s cause.
He has started just two Premier League games this season, scoring one goal. He has scored just one more goal this campaign in the Europa League against FC Sherrif.
Moreover, the 37-year-old was actively looking for potential suitors this summer to play in the UEFA Champions League. However, his agent Jorge Mendes failed to find a club that wanted to sign him, with the list including the likes of Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid.
Hence, Ten Hag has made signing a centre-forward his priority and Abraham’s name has popped up.
