Manchester United are actively pursuing a new striker this summer, as goal-scoring struggles have plagued what’s likely their worst-ever Premier League season.
With Rasmus Højlund reportedly pushing for a move away, United are preparing to revamp their attack under Rúben Amorim, with Matheus Cunha’s arrival expected.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano confirmed United are targeting both a striker and an attacking midfielder.
One name gaining momentum is Brighton’s João Pedro, who is also attracting interest from Chelsea and Liverpool.
The 22-year-old Brazilian scored 10 goals and added 6 assists this season, and Brighton value him at around £50 million.
Pedro’s Premier League experience, technical ability, and versatility—capable of playing as a striker or in a deeper creative role—make him a strong fit for Amorim’s flexible attacking system.
Statistically, he excels in progressive carries, passes, and take-ons, placing him among the elite in Europe for forward play.
This move signals INEOS’s intent to reshape United’s attack with dynamic, proven talent ahead of a crucial rebuild.
