Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Tammy Abraham from AS Roma.
Erik ten Hag is believed to be keen on signing a new striker for his United side in the near future, as questions remain over Anthony Martial's fitness. The Frenchman enjoyed a superb pre-season as many thought he could spearhead the attack for the Reds this campaign, yet repeated issues with injury have sidelined the 26-year-old.
Cristiano Ronaldo has also been used infrequently by Ten Hag, with the majority of the 37-year-old's starts coming in the Europa League. Given Marcus Rashford's preference to cut in from the left-hand side, and Antony the opposite, this leaves United with a potential concern over the lack of a reliable central striker.
