Manchester United Target £42m PSG Wonderkid to Strengthen Attack

Manchester United are reportedly preparing a substantial bid for Paris Saint-Germain’s teenage sensation Désiré Doué as they look to reinforce their attacking options this summer. The 19-year-old French forward has caught the eye with his dazzling performances since joining PSG for £42 million last year.

United manager Ruben Amorim is keen to add more firepower to his squad after a disappointing season in front of goal. Current strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have struggled for consistency, managing just 15 goals between them in all competitions.

Doué is seen as an ideal fit for Amorim’s preferred 3-4-3 system, with the versatile attacker capable of playing as a number 10 or on the wings. He has already notched an impressive 24 goal contributions this season, including 6 goals and assists in just 12 Champions League appearances.

Data analyst Ben Mattinson has hailed Doué as “one of the best in the game right now” and a “genius” who can “create something out of nothing.” The youngster showcased his talent with a stunning equalizer against Aston Villa in midweek Champions League action.

While Wolves striker Matheus Cunha has also been linked with a move to Old Trafford, Doué represents a more exciting long-term prospect. The PSG starlet outperforms Cunha across a range of key metrics, including assists, shot-creating actions, and successful take-ons.

United will likely face stiff competition for Doué’s signature, with PSG reluctant to part ways with one of their prized assets after just one season. However, the Red Devils appear ready to test the French champions’ resolve with a significant bid as they look to add a game-changing talent to their attack.
