Manchester United’s striker conundrum is set to dominate the summer transfer window, with Ineos and manager Ruben Amorim keen to reshape the club’s attacking options.
While Matheus Cunha is reportedly close to joining from Wolves, United are also exploring younger talents to bolster their forward line.
Enzo Kana-Biyik, an 18-year-old striker from Le Havre, is expected to finalise his move to Old Trafford imminently, as he was on his way to Manchester yesterday to complete a move to the club.
In addition to Kana-Biyik, United have shown interest in Liam Delap, currently at Ipswich Town, as a potential first-team striker.
However, the club’s scouting network is also keeping tabs on emerging talents across Europe.
One such talent is Christian Kofane, an 18-year-old Cameroonian striker making waves at Albacete in Spain’s Segunda Division.
Christian Kofane has netted five goals in his last six appearances, showcasing his prowess as a powerful and agile forward.
His performances have drawn comparisons to legendary striker Samuel Eto’o, with some dubbing him the ‘new Eto’o’.

Kofane’s rise has not gone unnoticed, attracting interest from top clubs including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, and now Manchester United, as per Mundo Deportivo.
Atletico Madrid have reportedly been tracking him for years, impressed by his qualities and humble nature.
Standing at 6ft 2in, Kofane combines physicality with technical skill, boasting a dribble success rate in the 95th percentile among his peers.
He averages 0.59 goals per 90 minutes, an impressive tally that emphasises his potential.
While United’s immediate focus may be on securing established forwards, the club’s interest in Kofane signals a commitment to nurturing young talent for the future.
However, signing both Kana-Biyik and Kofane in the same window may be unlikely, given the club’s strategic planning and resource allocation.
As the summer transfer window approaches, United’s pursuit of Kofane will be one to watch, reflecting the club’s broader strategy of blending experience with emerging talent to rejuvenate their attacking options.
