Man United is interested in Ollie Watkins
Their transfer company will not stop there with Man United looking for an appropriate number new to direct their attack next season.
While Cunha is a playmaker who is best suited to a position behind the attacker and Mbeumo is a large striker, they need a player who can lead his attack next season.
Man United is interested in the attacker of Aston Villa Ollie Watkins, according to Fichajes.
Watkins was a consistency model for Aston Villa, scoring 17 goals and providing 14 assists all competitions during the 2024/25 campaign.

The Red Devils were earlier interested in a move for Liam Delap, but the English striker joined Chelsea from the city of Ipswich.
Watkins embodies the qualities that United has missed: an attacker with proven premiere league references, a clinical finish, an intelligent position awareness and an unequaled work ethics.
His composure in high pressure situations, combined with his talent to link the game and deliver in the last third, makes him a well-balanced attacker capable of transforming United attack.
Watkins described himself as an “fighter” in an interview, speaking of his hard work in his career and the way he accelerated the ranks of the lower leagues.
