US EditionManchester United Step up Interest to Beat Liverpool and Chelsea to 22-Year-Old Star
- Manchester United is intensifying its pursuit of 22-year-old striker Hugo Ekitike ahead of the summer 2025 transfer window in England.
- The club shifted focus to Ekitike after ending their pursuit of Viktor Gyokeres, as Eintracht Frankfurt demands a high price for the French forward.
- Ekitike joined Eintracht Frankfurt permanently in summer 2024 after a loan from Paris Saint-Germain, scoring 22 goals and providing 12 assists in 47 appearances last season.
- Sporting director Markus Krosche said, "If the price isn’t right, then he’ll just stay with us," reflecting Frankfurt's firm valuation near 80 to 100 million euros.
- This pursuit suggests Manchester United aims to improve their struggling attack after finishing 15th last season, competing with Chelsea and Liverpool for Ekitike’s signing.
