Manchester United s summer window search: Who is the next Red Devils No. 9?

6:31am, 28 July 2025【Football】

After investing huge amounts of money to introduce Cunya and Mbemo, Manchester United's summer window strengthening seems to have the last and most critical piece of puzzle left - a real No. 9 center. Although the team is associated with names such as Jackson and Gio Keres, the high price and complex negotiations have forced the Red Devils to launch Plan B.

So, what other treasure forwards in the market can become the terminator under Amorin?

1. Lois Oppenda (RB Leipzig)

If you need a "Brutalist" center who does not need to adapt, plug and play, and can immediately destroy cities, Oppenda is the answer. His data on 59 goals (41 goals and 18 assists) in 90 Bundesliga games is terrifying. He likes to resist one-on-one defenders, and he has a strong dominance in the penalty area. He is the most perfect "bridgehead" in Amorin's offensive system.

2. Evanilsen (Bornemouth)

After paying high prices for Cunya and Mbemo, introducing a player who has proved himself in the Premier League will be the lowest risk option. The Brazilian striker has a variety of shooting styles and agile style. If he can configure a Manchester United-level attack group behind him, his goal data will surely usher in explosive growth.

3. Mohamed Amora (Wolfsburg)

Unlike the first two, Amora is a more comprehensive modern forward. He can not only blast on the left with his amazing speed and dribbling, but also grab points in the penalty area. He contributed 10 goals and 12 assists in 31 games in the Bundesliga last season, proving that he is both a shooter and a master of feeding cakes. Wolfburg just bought him out for 14.75 million euros. Manchester United took action at this time and is expected to intercept the bully at a reasonable price.

4. Mika Biret (Monaco)

This former Denmark international in Arsenal youth training is staged in Ligue 1, and has scored 15 goals in just 16 games! His rise is amazing, and it seems only a matter of time before he lands in the Premier League. Signing him now is much wiser than waiting for him to buy three to four times the price after he is bought by other teams.

5. Victor Bonifas (Leverkusen)

This powerful Nigerian center has declined due to injuries last season due to a decline in form and value. But this is a perfect time to buy at the bottom. Even in the injury-ridden season, he still scored 13 goals in 27 games, with an amazing efficiency. The deal is absolutely cost-effective to get a fully-fitting Bundesliga striker at a price far lower than his peak value.
