Erik ten Hag is looking for a solution to the top job, this after Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to leave the formation at Old Trafford in the summer of 2023.
If the Red Devils have brought in a variety of strange names over time who clearly didn’t prove themselves in a red and white shirt (Lindelof, Darmian, Schneiderlin, Alexis Sanchez), United seem to have an equally strange target for next summer.
Eric Chupo-Moting, United’s striker option.
Cristiano Ronaldo is on the verge of leaving Manchester United after falling out with Erik ten Hag following his gesture against Tottenham Hotspur.
Although he has returned to training with the senior team and playing since, the Portuguese is keen to try a new challenge at the end of his career, given the fact that he is 37 years old. CR7 could leave for another team this winter if the interest of Sporting Lisbon, who were ready to take him on loan, is confirmed.
The surprise option, which was also confirmed by the press from England (Dailymail), is the current football player of “Bayern” Munich, Erik-Chupo Moting.
The 33-year-old seems to be having a very good season for the German champions, for whom he has already scored 8 goals in 13 games.
The Cameroonian is under contract with Julian Nagelsmann’s side until the summer of 2023 and Manchester United are keen to lure him to Old Trafford on a free transfer.
According to Transfermarkt, Eric-Choupo Moting was signed on a free transfer in October 2020 after leaving Paris Saint-Germain and has since made 71 appearances for Germany’s most successful side. The Cameroonian footballer has 26 goals and 9 assists for the Allianz Arena team.
The sporting director of the Bavarians, Hasan Salihamidzic, stated that they will negotiate a new contract with Čupo Moting in order to keep him at the German champions.
Chupo Moting, an impressive record for the reserve
The 33-year-old started his professional career at Hamburg and has played for Nürnberg, Mainz 05, Schalke 04, Stoke City and Paris Saint-Germain.
However, he managed to win numerous trophies, including:
2 x Bundesliga
2 x League 1
1 x German Super Cup
1 x French Super Cup
1 x French Cup
1 x French League Cup
1 x World Club Championship
