Manchester United have made a big transfer decision that is likely to affect Rasmus Hojlund's future at the club amid their hunt for a new striker.
Aston Villa have reportedly shut down Manchester United’s latest approach for Ollie Watkins, insisting the England striker is not for sale. The Red Devils are keen on adding a proven striker, but the Villans have made it clear they won’t entertain offers. The 29-year-old is said to be central to Unai Emery’s plans heading into the 2025/26 season.
Manchester United's capture of Bryan Mbeumo is a significant step, but Erik ten Hag still needs reinforcements. Experts suggest a raid on Aston Villa for Emiliano Martinez and Ollie Watkins to bolster the attack, alongside addressing a crucial midfield gap. Six key moves remain on United's transfer agenda, including strengthening defensive options and adding further creativity. Failure to act swiftly could leave new manager Ruben Amorim with a monumental rebuilding job ahead of the 2025-26 season, hindering their Premier League ambitions
Aston Villa have shown interest in signing Sami Aghehowa from FC Porto this summer as they have identified the Spanish striker as a possible replacement for Ollie Watkins. Manchester United are keen on signing the English forward in the summer window and in case Watkins exits Villa Park, the club would go after Aghehowa who is valued at €80 million (£69m/$93.5m) by the Portuguese club.
