Manchester United Plot Move for PL Striker as Rasmus Hojlund Replacement
- Manchester United has added Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins to their shortlist as a potential replacement for Rasmus Hojlund this summer.
- This interest follows Hojlund's underwhelming five-goal tally and United's need to improve a frontline that scored only 44 league goals last season.
- Watkins, 29, has scored 75 Premier League goals for Villa and reached double figures in each of the last five seasons, while Villa face financial pressures under Profit and Sustainability Rules.
- Manchester United has held exploratory talks with Aston Villa, while Villa values Watkins around £60 million and Wenger, Pennant, and Brown publicly support Watkins as a strong signing option.
- If Hojlund departs, United's pursuit of Watkins could strengthen their attack, though any deal might develop late in the transfer window given the player's contract and Villa's financial considerations.
