It is clear why Manchester United want Son Heung-min. There is no doubt about Son Heung-min's ability. Son Heung-min left Leverkusen (Germany) and joined Tottenham through the transfer window in the summer of 2015. His ransom was €30 million at the time. It was the highest transfer fee ever for an Asian player. Son Heung-min scored double-digit points for nine consecutive seasons from the 2016-2017 season. He scored 23 goals in the league in the 2021-2022 season, becoming Asia's first top scorer in the English Premier League (EPL). He was 100% pure top scorer with no penalty kick points.
He achieved another great achievement this season. Son Heung-min started the league away game against Ipswich at Portman Road in Ipswich, England on the 23rd and recorded two assists. Son Heung-min scored 10 goals and 10 assists in 35 official games this season, becoming the fifth player in his career to achieve double-digit goals and assists this season. Above all, he scored 126 goals and 71 assists in 326 EPL matches, achieving 70 goals and 70 assists. Son Heung-min's 70 goals and 70 assists in the EPL is the 11th valuable record in history. Teddy Sheringham (146 goals-76 assists), Wayne Rooney (208 goals-103 assists), Frank Lampard (177 goals-102 assists), Ryan Giggs (109 goals-162 assists), Andy Cole (187 goals-94 assists), Dennis Bergkamp (187 goals-94 assists), Steven Gerrard (120 goals-92 assists), Thierry Henry (175 goals-74 assists), Mohamed Salah (181 goals-84 assists), and Kevin De Bruyne (70 goals-118 assists) made the milestone ahead of Son Heung-min.
Manchester United are bound to change. Manchester United has changed its head coach three times in the 2024-2025 season. He broke up with coach Erik ten Hag. He played four games under acting coach Ruud van Nistelrooy. Afterwards, he gave coach Amorim the official baton and refurbished it. But Manchester United are still hovering in the bottom half. In this season's EPL, he ranked 15th with eight wins, six draws and 12 losses (30 points).
