DBasia.news – Unfortunate news for Manchester United regarding efforts to sign Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, the Bayern Munich striker, who will replace Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at Manchester United is uncertain. Reportedly, the Portuguese striker wants to leave before his contract ends this season. The January transfer window is believed to be the right time for Ronaldo to leave.
Therefore, Manchester United have prepared to look for a replacement. According to reports circulating in England, the Red Devils are interested in Choupo-Moting.
Erik ten Hag has given his blessing to move for Choupo-Moting. The 33-year-old striker’s playing style is very much liked by Ten Hag. Choupo-Moting is an attacker who can not only operate in the middle.
Moreover, Choupo-Moting’s contract with Bayern will expire this season. That way, the Red Devils can sign Choupo-Moting on a free transfer.
However, that does not mean that Manchester United’s path is wide open as FC Hollywood are trying to increase the duration of the striker’s tenure. Moreover, lately the performance of Choupo-Moting is on the rise.
Regarding the issue of his future, Choupo-Moting was reluctant to comment on the matter. He only confirmed that he was happy with Bayern.
“I am only focused on Bayern Munich. I am thrilled to be able to imagine staying here longer,” Choupo-Moting told Sky Sports.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is only a back-up player on Bayern’s front lines. However, with a number of forwards injured, Julian Nagelsmann gave the Cameroon striker a chance. He has 10 goals and 3 assists in the last 14 matches.
