United manager Erik ten Hag needs to add some firepower up front amid a painful campaign in the Premier League as well as the Champions League.
Marcus Rashford has failed to replicate last season’s stunning numbers, £72million signing Rasmus Hojlund is goalless in the Prem, Antony is poor and Jadon Sancho is axed from the first team.
That is why the Red Devils have turned their attention to Stuttgart star Serhou Guirassy.
Guirassy has taken the Bundesliga by storm with a staggering total of 16 goals in 11 league appearances.
According to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, the Manchester giants have already put the wheels in motion as they weigh up a move for the centre-forward.
The 27-year-old is one of Ten Hag’s top January targets as he could be a bargain move that may cost less than €20m (£17m).
However, negotiations are still at an “early stage” between United, Stuttgart and the Guinea international’s camp.
