JAKARTA - Manchester United is still monitoring players who can patch vacancies up front after Cristiano Ronaldo's departure. Manager Erik Ten Hag began to think about a number of names included in the recruitment candidates.

The front line of the Red Devils is now very limited. There are only Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Anthony Elanga as the best choices.

Sky Sports reports that MU is likely to look for players who can be borrowed. A number of names have started to appear in the media.

The first name is Burnley striker who is now on loan to Besiktas, Wout Weghorst. Reportedly, his loan period at the Turkish club could be shortened to smooth his steps to Old Trafford. The 30-year-old has made a positive impression on the Turkish Super Lig with eight goals and four assists from 16 appearances.

In addition, Vincent Aboubakar's name is also mentioned as a potential target for MU. This name is even suspected of having agreed to a short-term agreement with the Red Devils.

Aboubakar became a sacrifice and had to leave Saudi Arabia's club, Al-Nassr after Ronaldo's arrival from MU.

Apart from MU, Fenerbahce also wants the services of the player because he thinks Aboubakar can become a top player for their attack line. However, Aboubakar is reportedly more interested in playing for the club based in Carrington because he wants to try out his abilities in England.

Joao Felix is also a player who is widely rumored to be being taken seriously by the Red Devils. MU has even reportedly made his first offer for the young Atletico Madrid striker.

However, the player's move is still hit by a price.

The Red Devils intend to borrow Felix for six months. However, MU only wants to pay four million euros as a loan fee for the player. Because it was considered too small, Atletico refused, because they actually wanted 12 million euros for the attacker's loan fee.

MU is also reportedly monitoring the development of Marcus Thuram, the striker who represented France during the 2022 World Cup. Thuram is currently in a strong performance for Borussia Monchengladbach during the 2022/2023 season.

At the German club, Thuram has scored 13 goals and recorded four assists in 17 appearances in all competitions. MU's interest is also supported by the situation of the 25-year-old whose contract at Gladbach expires in June.

That means Thuram is currently free to talk to foreign clubs about his move at the end of the 2022/2023 season.

Moussa Dembele has also been linked with MU in recent years. The Red Devils may have had the opportunity to sign him at a low price in January 2023. The French player underwent an extraordinary 2021/2022 season with Lyon with 22 goals and five assists from 36 matches.

Namu Moussa Dembele has only collected two goals from 12 games this season. Dembele's contract with Lyon expires in June next year, and he will leave the French club for free if he doesn't sign a new contract.
