Ruben Amorim wants to upgrade MU's attack with Porto star

After a run of three consecutive defeats at the end of December, coach Ruben Amorim was clearly aware that the team needed to add a top-class striker, especially when Marcus Rashford is almost certain to leave the team in 2025.

During their working trip to Portugal, Manchester United scouts attended the match between Porto and Boavista, which Porto won 4-0. One of the notable names in this match was Samu Aghehowa, a 20-year-old striker from Porto. Aghehowa continued to impress, scoring twice, taking his total goals this season to 18 in 21 appearances.

Possessing sharp finishing ability, intelligent movement and impressive speed, Aghehowa has attracted the attention of not only Manchester United but also other big teams in Europe. With his current form, he is considered a bright young talent, very suitable for the football philosophy that Ruben Amorim is building at Old Trafford.

Although Samu Aghehowa is a target for many big clubs, Manchester United could take advantage of pursuing him early, especially as Aghehowa has experience playing in big tournaments like the Europa League, helping him adapt easily to the Premier League environment.

Alongside Aghehowa, Viktor Gyökeres and Victor Osimhen are also other options that Manchester United are considering. However, both come with high transfer fees, and the team will need to be flexible in negotiations.

Manchester United need a new striker to address their attacking issues and maintain their ambitions of challenging for trophies for the rest of the season. Signing Samu Aghehowa in the January transfer window would be a huge step forward in bolstering the team's attack.
