The 23-year-old Montenegro striker has been targeted by the Red Devils as a possible addition to their attack force for the upcoming season, according to a report from Calciomercato.It.
This season, Krstovic has scored six goals for the Italian team in all competitions, and the Premier League team may find him to be a cheap addition.
Rasmus Hojlund is a Danish international that Manchester United acquired during the summer transfer window, but they will need to exercise patience with him. The former Atalanta striker needs more time to develop into his full potential because he is still adjusting to life in the Premier League.
The purchase of a second striker to split the goal scoring load with Hojlund could prove to be a smart move for the Red Devils, who could definitely use extra depth in their offensive lineup.
Krstovic could wind up being a wise long-term investment because he possesses the physicality and finishing touch necessary to thrive in the Premier League. Whether Manchester United and Lecce can agree on a fair price will be interesting to watch.
With a contract that expires in the summer of 2027, the 23-year-old Italian club will likely want to get as much money back as they can for him. It will be interesting to watch how things work out in the next weeks.
Manchester United’s goal for the upcoming season is to get back on track and earn a spot in the UEFA Champions League. In order for the squad to advance and have a successful season finale, they must make the appropriate signings in January.
