England Premier League (EPL) Manchester United and Manchester City are seeking to recruit promising young strikers to boost their team's scoring ability.
Victor Jockeres (26), a Swedish striker who is currently playing for Sporting CP in Portugal, is the target. Of course, Manchester United and Manchester City's options overlapped. a situation in which heated competition is inevitable. However, both teams are confident of winning the recruitment competition with their own strong 'connections'.
British media The Sun reported on the 24th (Korea time) 'Manchester United and Manchester City are seeking to recruit Victor Jockeres worth 65 million pounds (about 114.5 billion won) with their respective secret weapons. Both Manchester United and Manchester City are trying to find a new turning point by recruiting players.
Manchester United is more desperate. Manchester United's team atmosphere has not been revived since the opening of the season. In the end, the poor performance continued, leading to the replacement of coach Erik ten Hag and the recruitment of coach Huvang Amorim. His performance in the 2024-2025 season is also ranked 12th in the league. The biggest concern is the poor offense, which scored only 12 goals in 11 games.
Man City are a little bit better off. Currently, he is in second place in the league (23 points). However, the team lost 0-4 at home to Tottenham Hotspur on the 24th, and has been mired in a slump of five consecutive league and cup tournaments. Anxiety is growing.
In particular, Manchester City's scoring pattern, which is concentrated only on its ace, Elling Holan, is an unsettling factor. Holan has scored 12 goals in all tournaments of the season. However, only three goals were scored by the next highest scorer. Joshko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic scored three goals. The two are only half of Holan's. Pep Guardiola wants to improve the scoring situation that relies solely on Holan.
