Manchester United may target Raul de Tomas

Raúl de Tomás

Spanish club Espanyol have offered Manchester United forward Raul de Tomas.

The Red Devils have been desperately searching for a new forward. Ronaldo‘s future is questionable and Antony Martial is out injured. The likes of Atletico Madrid’s Alvaro Morata and Paris Saint-Germain’s Mauro Icardi are potential targets of the club.

However, de Tomas has also been reported to be a potential target. The Spanish international is expected to leave his current club before the end of the window.

The 27-year-old has scored 45 goals and registered six assists in 89 appearances for his current side in all competitions, including 17 goals and three assists in 36 matches last term. He was unavailable for Espanyol’s recent 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo.

Some claims have stated that he would be available for about £25m. This is despite his supposed £60m release clause.

Manchester United are beginning to get desperate in the Transfer window

The Red Devils have had a horrific side to the start of the season. After a 2-1 loss to Brighton at home, they suffered a miserable 4-0 humiliation at the hands of Brentford.

Erik ten Hag has been unable to secure the players he needs. United’s attempts to sign Frenkie de Jong have stalled. They are unable to acquire the services of Ajax’s Antony or Jurrien Timber.

A deal for Adrien Rabiot is nearing completion. However, there are concerns over the Frenchman’s ability.

Other clubs like Arsenal, West Ham, Chelsea, and Spurs have strengthened considerably. United are desperate to catch up but are unable to present itself as an attractive destination for players.
