Manchester United are keeping tabs on Ollie Watkins as they explore several striker options in the summer transfer window. Ruben Amorim would like to add a striker to his squad this summer, though any move will depend on player sales to raise the required transfer funds.
Amorim still views Sporting star Viktor Gyokeres as the dream addition in attack, though he is believed to prefer a move to Arsenal, while Victor Osimhen is deemed an unlikely target due to his wage demands. United won't move for Hugo Ekitike unless Eintracht Frankfurt lower their €100m asking price.
It means Watkins might be the best attainable option this summer, with the 29-year-old an experienced Premier League striker who would bring an immediate improvement to their attack. Here is a look at the shirt numbers he could wear if he made the move to Old Trafford.
