12-goal international star available and ready to join Man United after Pochettino development
The 25-year-old forward has scored 12 goals in 31 senior caps for the United States and could add depth as United seek reinforcements.
- On Friday, Manchester United added United States international Folarin Balogun to their January transfer shortlist after finalizing a deal to hire Mauricio Pochettino as manager, replacing Michael Carrick at Old Trafford.
- Pochettino previously coached Balogun while leading the USA, where the Brooklyn-born frontman thrived by scoring 12 goals in 31 senior caps after switching his international allegiance from England.
- Balogun, 25, has scored 32 goals in 98 appearances for Monaco and now seeks a January departure following the collapse of his proposed £40 million switch to Everton in the summer due to contract disputes.
- Arsenal holds a 17.5 per cent sell-on clause from the deal three years ago and will bank a significant windfall if the striker departs the Stade Louis in January.
- Known for developing Harry Kane at Spurs, Pochettino is expected to prioritize youth as United requires defensive and midfield reinforcements despite signing three new players in those positions last summer.
