Manchester United are showing no signs of slowing down in their pursuit of attacking reinforcements this summer. Despite recently securing the signing of Matheus Cunha, sources confirm that United are still very much interested in bringing Hugo Ekitike to Old Trafford.
The Red Devils, under the management of Rubén Amorim, are determined to sign a proper No.9 to lead their line next season. Ekitike, currently at Eintracht Frankfurt, has emerged as a serious target as the club seeks to bolster their forward options with a natural striker.
Discussions between Manchester United and Eintracht Frankfurt officially began last week. While talks are ongoing, there is currently no deal in place and no agreement has been reached at this stage.
The 22-year-old French forward has attracted significant interest across Europe, with both Liverpool and Chelsea also keeping close tabs on his situation. Both clubs remain active in the race and could pose strong competition for United as the summer transfer window progresses.
Ekitike’s profile as a quick, technical, and clinical striker makes him an ideal fit for teams looking to add versatility and finishing quality to their front line. Despite limited game time during his stint at Paris Saint-Germain before moving to Frankfurt, he has reignited his form in the Bundesliga, which has put him back on the radar of top European clubs.
Manchester United’s pursuit of Ekitike signals their clear ambition to reshape their attack, even after adding Cunha to their roster. Amorim is reportedly keen on having multiple dynamic options in the forward department as United prepare for a highly competitive season domestically and in Europe.
For now, it remains a developing story with all parties engaged in preliminary talks. United fans will be eager to see if the club can successfully outpace their rivals and secure the signing of Hugo Ekitike in the coming weeks.
