According to a source, Manchester United is carrying out a significant amount of research in order to get ready for a potential transfer for a false nine that Erik ten Hag would deem to be a suitable fit for the club.

One of the most essential aims that Manchester United has for the next summer transfer window is to continue their march toward becoming a more lethal attacking unit. With Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from the team in November of the previous year, the club has been looking for someone to fill the role of key forward that Ronaldo held for the club.

In January, a temporary solution to the issue was found in the form of Wout Weghorst, who was borrowed from Burnley on a loan basis. But, by the time summer arrives, children may be in a position to push themselves to achieve more ambitious objectives.

As a result of this, they have been keeping an eye on a number of different alternatives and options. They might try to sign a veteran center forward like Napoli’s Victor Osimhen or Tottenham’s Harry Kane, for instance, as potential targets.

A different strategy that could be employed to address their area of need is to look for a false nine. This is an alternative technique. Specifically, they have been linked to the perpetrator of the incident that took place at Ajax, Muhammad Kudus.

At the beginning of his career, Kudus played the position of ᴏꜰꜰᴇɴsɪᴠᴇ midfielder for Ajax. However, more recently, he has been playing higher up the field in the role of a false nine. During the first 33 games of the season, he has participated in every game and has scored 16 goals.

A total of 21 goals have been scored by him during his time spent playing for Ajax across the course of 75 games. It just so happens that Erik ten Hag was the one who provided him with 42 of those opportunities, during which he scored five goals, and it’s a happy coincidence.

It is evident that Kudus’s productivity has grown since Ten Hag has left the firm; nonetheless, the Dutch strategist may still find a use for his expertise.

It’s possible that Ten Hag would prefer it if Kudus joined him at Manchester United, but for now it looks like it won’t happen. According to an article that was published by 90 Minutes, the most recent weeks have allegedly been spent “extensively scouting” him.

Kudus has scored four goals in the Eredivisie during the course of the most recent six matches he has played in. In the last 10 games that he has participated in across all competitions, he has scored a total of six goals.

Hence, Manchester United have been keeping an eye on him at the ideal time if he is seeking to pique the interest of other teams in advance of the start of the summer transfer window.

But, Manchester United has been made aware by the news that they are not the only team interested in Kudus’ talents. Kudus is also being pursued by other teams. As a matter of ꜰᴀᴄᴛ, all of the other teams that are deemed to be part of the big six, with the exception of one, are now keeping an eye on him.

There are a lot of different people who have an interest in Mohamed Kudus.Now, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur are locked in a fierce ʙᴀᴛᴛʟᴇ to secure Kudus’ services, and the ꜰɪɢʜᴛ is getting more severe by the day. At this point in time, Manchester City is the only one of the so-called “big six” teams that has not been mentioned in connection with him. Other clubs include Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Juventus.

The Italian Serie A clubs Napoli, Inter, and AC Milan, along with the French champions Paris Saint-Germain and the German equivalents Bayern Munich, are among the clubs in Europe that are considering signing Kudus. Other clubs in Europe that are considering signing Kudus include Bayern Munich and the German equivalents.

At this moment, there is a lack of openness surrounding the prospective cost of acquiring Kudus from Ajax. This lack of information may result in an inaccurate estimate. It is a condition of his release that he reside in Amsterdam until the year 2025.

Yet, it would appear that the Dutch organization will need to brace themselves for interest in his services this summer. They will need to prepare themselves for this competition. It’s probable that he’ll end up getting back together with Ten Hag, just like Lisandro Martinez and Antony did before him.

Despite this, the 22-year-old will be weighing his choices in light of the ꜰᴀᴄᴛ that a number of the greatest teams in the world have indicated interest in signing him.
