Man United told to avoid signing 16-goal Premier League striker as replacement for Rasmus Hojlund

If Manchester United wants to become a series winner of the Premier League again, it is not the answer to sign Ollie Watkins.

This is the view of Rory Jennings from Talksport, while United continues her summer plans to bring Old Trafford new attack talents.

Talksport understands that Ruben gives Amorim’s team the opportunity to move the Aston Villa striker.

Watkins scored 50 goals from the Premier League in the last three seasons and was connected to Arsenal with a shock in January.

It is assumed that nothing is being made in relation to the persecution of United, whereby a deal depends on sales.

One of them could be Rasmus Hojlund, but Jennings believes that United should stay away from Watkins if the opportunity should arise.

“What?” He said in response to the rumor about the transfer insiders.

“Watkins after Manchester United? I think that’s just not what you need at all, right?”

“You don’t need a proven goal scorer in the Premier League?” He was asked, but insisted: “No, they don’t. You don’t need Ollie Watkins.

“There is no way that Ollie Watkins can be the answer to bring Manchester United back into her previous shine. Ollie Watkins is not this player.

“Is it better than Rasmus Hojlund or not, would that be so overwhelming for Manchester United fans?”

Jennings later added: “Manchester United and Arsenal are much better than Ollie Watkins.”

Watkins has a contract in the villa that runs until 2028 and has entered the summer with a campaign of 16 goals.

The 29-year-old also divided eight assists in the Premier League and described one of the best strikers outside the ‘Big Six’.

United, who ended the 2024/25 campaign in the 15th, had little success in front of the goal with Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.

Only four and three league goers were achieved by both as Amorim and Co. endure a catastrophic campaign.

Talksport understands that Amorim wants to keep Zirkzee and would prefer to sell Hojlund this summer.

The series -a giant Inter Milan showed interest in the Danish striker.

United has already taken steps to tackle her attack problems before the start of the next season.

Matheus Cunha signed from Wölfen in a move of £ 62.5 million and is expected to be in No. 10.

United has also held talks with Brentford for Bryan Mbuemo, with the West London team withdrawing a fee of 60 million GBP.

Watkins could also become a newcomer and a signing that could increase the chances of the association to increase the Premier League table.
