Man Utd in three-way Aleksandar Mitrovic transfer battle with Premier League rivals after missing out on Liam Delap
But the former Fulham striker is not United's 'dream target' DEVIL YOU KNOW Man Utd in three-way Aleksandar Mitrovic transfer battle with Premier League rivals after missing out on Liam Delap Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MANCHESTER UNITED are considering a shock swoop for Aleksandar Mitrovic after missing out on Liam Delap, according to reports. The Red Devils endured an horrific season in 2024-25, managing just 44 Premier League goals as they finished a barely-believable 15th. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Aleksandar Mitrovic is wanted by Man Utd this summer, according to shock reports Credit: Reuters 2 Mitrovic has Premier League experience from his time at Fulham as well as Newcastle Credit: Alamy Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee are both rumoured to be on the chopping block after dismal campaigns. Ipswich's breakout star Delap, 22, was the club's No1 striker target, but the former Manchester City academy star is set to join Chelsea instead. And while United aren't in a position to sign anyone without first selling, Old Trafford chiefs are contemplating a swoop for ex-Fulham striker Mitrovic, according to talkSPORT. The 30 year old has scored 68 goals in 79 games since joining quitting the Prem to join Al-Hilal in a £50million move two years ago. READ MORE SPORT STORIES FRENCH CONNECTION Utd star Rashford spotted with mystery woman on St Tropez break He has Premier League experience from his time at both Fulham and Newcastle. Mitrovic famously scored 43 times in just 44 games in the Cottagers' promotion campaign in 2021-22, his best return in a Prem season is just 14 goals. Yet that total is nearly DOUBLE United's top scorer from last season, with Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo both scoring just eight apiece. Strikers Hojlund and Zirkzee managed just seven goals combined. Mitrovic would likely prove to be an upgrade, and a budget one at that. After missing out on Delap, in-demand Viktor Gyokeres is said to be the club's 'dream target'. However, he's more likely to end up at Arsenal. Al-Hilal are looking to bring in new faces, with Victor Osimhen and even Cristiano Ronaldo targeted, according to the report. However, the Saudi giants would first need to sell - and Mitrovic could be moved on. MORE TO FOLLOW... THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
