Manchester United desires Marcos Leonardo following the transfer of Rasmus Hojlund.
Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Santos striker Marcos Leonardo after concluding the signing of Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund, as reported by Calciomercato (via The Express).
Hojlund’s arrival at Old Trafford satisfied Erik Ten Hag’s desire for a true No. 9 prior to the start of the season, as he had been a fan of the club since childhood.
However, it appears that Ten Hag is not entirely sold on the idea of having just one true striker, and given Anthony Martial’s injury history, it makes sense to seek out another option.
