Ten Hag faced the same situation as Sir Alex 9 years ago

This summer, surely the transfer of MU will bring in a great striker, and they are considering between two options.

Update news:

According to information from the Telegraph, Man United is facing a similar problem a decade ago when choosing a target for strikers. Specifically, the two names the Red Devils are targeting are Victor Osimhen, a young striker born in 1998 who can still devote a long time, and Harry Kane - the number 1 striker in the Premier League in the past few seasons but is about to turn 30 years old. .

This means that coach Erik ten Hag will have a headache like the old Sir Alex Ferguson, when putting on the balance Robin Van Persie - a 29-year-old striker who is used to the Premier League environment, and Robert Lewandowski - then 24 years old. is playing for Dortmund club. As is known, MU chose Van Persie and the Dutch striker to help them win the championship the following season.

However, Sir Alex retired in 2013, causing Van Persie to lose his motivation to play and also leave MU after going through two more coaches. Meanwhile, Lewandowski gradually proved himself as the top striker in the world, joined Bayern Munich and is still playing for Barcelona. Of course, both of Sir Alex's targets in 2012 are excellent choices, and the Red Devils have chosen someone who is familiar with the English football environment but has less playing time.

Now is the time for them to consider the same thing between Osimhen - the emerging striker of Serie A or Harry Kane, the striker has no doubt about class and ability to integrate. Both have quite similar prices, up to £ 100 million, so MU is considering a safe option for Kane or putting faith in Osimhen, the young striker has the ability to develop further and can. future resale (in other words, negligible depreciation).

The MU side also put Benjamin Sesko, who will join Leipzig this summer, in the sights, but the 19-year-old striker is still too early to shoulder the responsibility at a big team. In addition, the backup plan if the Old Trafford team fails to recruit Osimhen/Kane will be Tammy Abraham. Along with that, the return of Mason Greenwood also affects MU's transfer plan.
