Manchester United may finish the January transfer window without signing a new striker, though Bayern Munich’s Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has emerged as a potential option should the club decide to strengthen their attacking lineup, according to information from 90min.
Manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly eager to add more firepower to the squad, but United’s main focus this winter remains on player departures. Any major incoming transfers could be difficult to complete unless Anthony Martial leaves the club.
Back in November, United explored the idea of signing Timo Werner but never made a concrete move. Werner has since joined Tottenham Hotspur on loan from RB Leipzig, casting further doubt on United’s initial interest.
Sources indicate that Choupo-Moting is being considered by the club, especially as his contract with Bayern expires this summer. While the striker presents a financially sensible short-term solution, there have been no formal developments on a deal at this stage.
Another name linked with United is Serhou Guirassy, currently representing Guinea at the Africa Cup of Nations. Despite having a release clause, the Stuttgart forward appears content to stay at the club until the end of the season.
Looking further ahead, United have also held internal discussions about Jonathan David as a long-term target. The Canadian international’s contract with Lille runs until 2025, and speculation suggests the French club may be open to selling him this summer.
