Manchester United keen on Wissam Ben Yedder

Manchester United have been linked with the move for the Monaco striker Wissam Ben Yedder.

A report from TeamTalk claims that the 33-year-old striker is on the radar of the Premier League club and they could look to make a move for him in the coming months.

Manchester United should look to invest in a quality striker during the January transfer window and the Frenchman could prove to be a useful acquisition. Although he is in the twilight stages of his career, Ben Yedder is a reliable goalscorer and he could improve Manchester United going forward.

The Red Devils signed Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta during the summer transfer window and the youngster is still getting to grips with English football. He needs more support in the attack and signing a proven goalscorer could be a shrewd investment. The 33-year-old Frenchman is in the final year of his contract with Monaco and he could be available for a nominal price in January.

The French club will not want to lose him on a free transfer at the end of the season.

Ben Yedder is a proven goalscorer in the French league and he scored 25 goals across all competitions last season. He has started the current campaign in fine form as well, scoring five goals. The 33-year-old could be attracted to the idea of joining Manchester United if an opportunity arises in January. The Red Devils are one of the biggest clubs in the world and Ben Yedder would get to showcase his qualities in the Premier League.

The 33-year-old is clearly good enough to succeed in English football and he would be a solid short-term buy for the Red Devils. Given his contract situation, he could be a bargain acquisition for the English club. Signing him for a reasonable price would allow them to strengthen the other areas of their squad as well.

The 33-year-old striker is not the only attacking option on their radar, and they have been linked with players like Mehdi Taremi and Gabriel Barbosa as well.
