Erik ten Hag’s side enjoyed a busy summer in 2024, bringing in Joshua Zirkee, Leny Yoro, Manuel Ugarte, Matthijs De Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui. The Red Devils are interested in strengthening their attack next summer regardless of what happens in the 2024/25 season. According to the ‘ Manchester Evening News ‘, Star striker Eberechi Eze is one of the Red Devils’ top targets for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Undoubtedly one of the attacks that caught the eye of Premier League fans last season was that of Crystal Palace, which highlighted the incredible form of the duo of Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze. Indeed, many Eagles fans expected both stars to leave the club this summer.
However, only Michael Olise fulfilled that expectation, joining Bayern Munich after the Bundesliga outfit paid his 70 million euro termination fee. To the surprise of many, Eberechi Eze was not signed by any club and is likely to leave the London club next summer.
Eberechi Eze’s England Call-Up Fuels Transfer Speculation
The English striker was part of England’s Euro 2024 squad thanks to 11 goals and 6 assists in 26 starts last season. The 26-year-old’s form has made him a priority target for Manchester United.
Eberechi Eze’s £68million termination clause expired at the end of the summer transfer window, but will be reactivated at the end of the current 2024/25 season, so the Red Devils intend to trigger it next summer, according to the ‘Manchester Evening News’. Manchester United also want to sign a new left-back after seeing Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia both struggle with injuries over the last year.
In the meantime, Ten Hag is under pressure to improve his team’s form after an unimpressive start to the new campaign. United have suffered back-to-back defeats to Brighton and Liverpool and face a trip to Southampton after the international break.
