Manchester United are looking to bring in fresh talent before the transfer window closes, and their latest target is a young attacker from Lyon.
The club, now under the management of Ruben Amorim, is hoping to strengthen the squad as they struggle for form in the Premier League.
United Want to Sign Lyon’s Young Star
Reports suggest that Manchester United have made an enquiry for a highly-rated 21-year-old attacking midfielder from Lyon.
The youngster has been on the radar of top clubs for some time, with Liverpool also interested in signing him.
Lyon, facing financial struggles, are open to selling the player for around €22m (£18m). This could be a bargain deal for United as they look to add creativity and skill to their attack.
The player’s ability to play both in midfield and on the wings makes him a strong option for the club.
Comparison with Christopher Nkunku

Another player United are reportedly interested in is Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku. However, stats suggest that the Lyon youngster may actually be the better option.
- The young attacker from Lyon has been involved in 13 goals and assists in 24 games this season.
- His total record for Lyon is 55 goal involvements in 165 games.
- He has a better record in dribbles, creative passes, and attacking moves compared to Nkunku.
While Nkunku is known for his goal-scoring ability, the Lyon star offers more creativity and attacking movement.
With Nkunku struggling with injuries and inconsistent performances, United might see the Lyon player as the better choice.
Man United Need Attacking Boost
Manchester United have struggled in attack this season. With Marcus Rashford’s future uncertain and Antony leaving for Real Betis, the team needs fresh options.
Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have only managed five Premier League goals between them, which is not enough for a team aiming to compete at the top level.
Adding the Lyon youngster could bring much-needed creativity and energy to the squad.
He has been called a “generational talent” by experts, and United could benefit from securing him before other top clubs make a move.
Will United Make the Move?
With the transfer deadline fast approaching, it remains to be seen if Manchester United will finalise the deal.
The club has been slow in making signings this window, and fans are growing frustrated.
However, if United manage to bring in the Lyon star, it could be a smart and exciting move for the club’s future.
