An attacker for Bayern Munich is “keen on” joining Manchester United.

Although Rasmus Hojlund ended his Premier League drought, Manchester United is still rumoured to be interested in signing a new forward this month.

Despite Hojlund’s £72 million summer transfer fee (Sky Sports), the 20-time league winner has a well-documented history of problems in front of goal and only one league goal to his credit.

Therefore, even if it’s just for a short-term loan, the team is anticipated to look for another striker as Erik Ten Hag tries to qualify for the Champions League.

Additionally, Eric Choupo-Moting of Bayern Munich has reportedly been “proposed as an option,” according to transfer journalist Dean Jones.

He told GiveMeSport, “I don’t think the Choupo-Moting interest has just cropped up out of nowhere.”

“I think he’s been proposed as an option and United are having to be open-minded in this window about how they add depth. My impression is that the player is keen on the idea of this one – the problem will be whether it can genuinely take shape from both ends.

He’s got two goals for Bayern Munich and is only a back-up to Harry Kane, so there is reason to believe Bayern’s board could be convinced into letting him go – especially as his contract runs out soon.

But whether Thomas Tuchel wants to be left without another option in attack is another thing. I certainly think Choupo-Moting would be more into a move to United than someone like Timo Werner.

“It’s interesting that both these Bundesliga options are being considered and even though Choupo-Moting has a bit of a reputation in England as a bit of a joke, he’s a very good player who might actually be very helpful in their situation.”
