Manchester United's hunt for an expensive striker.

Viktor Gyokeres, Tyler Dibling, and Antoine Semenyo are all high-profile targets for the upcoming summer transfer window.

ESPN reports that Manchester United are pursuing Dibling, who Southampton have valued at £100 million. The young talent has also attracted interest from a host of clubs including Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham, Bayern Munich, and RB Leipzig.

The England U21 international made remarkable progress in the 2024/25 season at Southampton. After 33 Premier League appearances, Dibling scored 4 goals.

The £100 million fee is considered too high compared to Dibling's true value. On Transfermarkt , the 19-year-old talent is valued at £21 million.

Before Dibling, MU considered Gyokeres their number one target to upgrade their attack this summer. This season, Gyokeres has scored 5 hat-tricks, a feat few strikers in Europe have achieved. After 46 matches in all competitions, the Swedish striker has scored 47 goals, a very impressive performance.

Gyokeres has a good relationship with Ruben Amorim, but the player is reportedly only considering a move to Manchester United if the Red Devils qualify for the Champions League. Furthermore, Gyokeres' transfer fee of around £70 million is also a major obstacle for MU.

Two other Premier League strikers also on MU's radar are Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth) and Liam Delap (Ipswich Town). Bournemouth are demanding a price of £70 million for Semenyo, after he scored 8 goals for the club in the Premier League this season.

Delap is more reasonably priced, around £30 million. However, the striker has ambitions to play in European competitions next season. If MU fails to win the Europa League, the Red Devils are likely to fail in this transfer. Delap is also attracting interest from Liverpool, Tottenham, and Chelsea.

Manchester United are forced to strengthen their attacking firepower as Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have been disappointing. Italian media reports that MU are willing to sell Hojlund for £50 million to invest in a more high-class striker.

Newcastle's four goals sink MU. In the early hours of April 14th, MU suffered a crushing 1-4 defeat against Newcastle at St James' Park in the 32nd round of the Premier League.
