Jonathan Burkardt (number 7) is a target sought after by many big clubs. |
Manchester United’s search for a new striker continues to be the focus of attention this summer, as the English team has its eyes on many names across Europe. In addition to famous names such as Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres or Liam Delap, the MU leadership is ready to recruit young strikers at reasonable prices, in the context of the team’s financial difficulties.
Mainz striker Jonathan Burkardt has become the latest candidate to be on the radar of the "Red Devils". The 24-year-old German striker has had an impressive performance in the Bundesliga this season, scoring 15 goals and having 3 assists.
Burkardt's explosive form has helped Mainz rise to third place in the Bundesliga. With Manchester United struggling in 13th place in the Premier League and needing a breath of fresh air in attack, Burkardt could prove to be a promising prospect.
One of the factors that attracted Manchester United's attention was his ability to adapt well to a 3-4-3 formation, a tactical system similar to what coach Ruben Amorim is applying at Old Trafford. The German striker is familiar with this system at Mainz, actively pressing and can play flexibly in the attack. Not only that, the 24-year-old Mainz striker also possesses leadership qualities, he has worn the captain's armband in many matches this season.
Manchester United are not the only team interested in the young German talent. Several other Premier League clubs are also closely monitoring Burkardt's situation. Bild said Mainz could offer up to 60 million euros for Burkardt, a product of the club's training academy.
