Manchester United are unlikely to sign 36-year-old AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud in the January transfer window.
Fabrizio Romano has told Caught Offside that Manchester United will unlikely go ahead with their plans to sign Olivier Giroud in winter. The Red Devils have cried out for a new striker as Erik ten Hag wants to rejig his squad ahead of a very busy schedule.
Manchester United do not have firepower in the final third, which has hurt them this season. Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure has left them reeling without much quality and quantity up front. And Erik ten Hag once again urged the club to place an offer for a new striker to join his existing crop of players.
Prior to the FA Cup tie with Everton, ten Hag was quizzed on the possibility of any incomings in January and he answered, “We always have to look for that as we push the players, because good is not good enough. Also in our organisation, we have to push each other and when there are opportunities, you always have to be ready for that. But my main focus is to get a better team, to improve the team.”
Olivier Giroud is still regarded as one of the best conventional strikers in the world despite his advancing age. And he proved his doubters wrong with some top-notch displays at the 2022 FIFA World Cup for France.
The former Arsenal and Chelsea striker had some great memories in the Premier League. And his recent form has captured the attention of Manchester United, who want to capitalise on the experienced French striker’s experience in the top flight.
But the 36-year-old has verbally agreed on a new contract and is expected to put pen to paper on a renewal soon. Romano said, “Despite links with Manchester United, AC Milan can’t lose Olivier Giroud now, it’s seen as “impossible” by club sources. Giroud is expected to sign a new deal in the next weeks or months after a verbal agreement was reached in December.”
Manchester United have also been credited with an interest in Atletico Madrid attacker Joao Felix. But some of the terms proposed by the Spanish giants has created diversions, and talks are still going on.
