Man Utd strengthens attack, preparing to sign a Premier League top scorer to boost their firepower.
Man Utd strengthens attack!!! Considering signing Brentford’s top scorer, Thiago, who fits the Premier League profile and is ready to play.
Ben Jacobs, a transfer market journalist, reported that Manchester United, the Premier League giants, is exploring the possibility of signing Brazilian international forward Igor Thiago from Brentford this summer.
It is understood that Manchester United is seeking to offload Dutch international forward Joshua Zirkzee after a disappointing performance, scoring only 9 goals in 75 appearances since joining from Bologna two years ago. Juventus is the leading candidate to acquire him, and United is already looking for replacements.
Reports state that Igor Thiago is among the players Manchester United is considering after an impressive season. The 25-year-old scored 22 goals in 38 Premier League matches, and his strong form earned him a call-up to Brazil’s national team for the 2026 World Cup.
Thiago signed a new contract with Brentford in February, running until 2031, but United continues to inquire to understand the player’s situation.
Jacobs said, “There have been talks about Igor Thiago as a player ready for Premier League action. So far, nothing beyond internal discussions and standard contact to gauge his situation. Signing him this summer would be quite challenging.”
Additionally, Manchester United is linked with Dusan Vlahovic after his free transfer from Juventus at the end of last season, as well as Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa.
