Man Utd targets Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike

Manchester United is reportedly eyeing Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike as a key target for the upcoming summer transfer window. Ekitike made a strong impression on Friday night by scoring a hat-trick in a 5-3 win against England's Under-21 team. United's management seems to favor signing a new striker, especially after a challenging season where their attack struggled. Rasmus Hojlund, their main forward, has only managed three goals in 24 Premier League games this season, after scoring 16 goals last year. Chido Obi, a 17-year-old player, has stepped into the first team sooner than expected due to limited options, but the team still needs more depth in the striker position. Ekitike is one of several players linked to a potential move to United, alongside names like Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko. In the match against England, Ekitike showcased his skills early, scoring his first goal with a clever chip over the goalkeeper. He added two more goals with quick taps from crosses. After a difficult period at Paris Saint-Germain, he joined Frankfurt last summer and has since thrived, scoring 19 goals and providing eight assists this season. Ekitike's impressive performances have attracted significant interest from various clubs, with sources suggesting he is likely to leave Frankfurt this summer. United's ability to secure his signing may depend on whether they qualify for the Champions League next season.
