Manchester United Want To Sign 24-Year-Old Striker Who Has Been On Fire This Season: Good Decision? | OneFootball

Manchester United have suffered a lot in this season and are now 13th in the points table at the time of writing. They have lost 12 matches in the league so far and obviously the fans will be frustrated with the state of the club right now given that they were one of the most illustrious clubs once upon a time. Ruben Amorim will have a big task in hand to prepare his team for the next season. The squad needs adequate strengthening and Manchester United will definitely be looking for signings this summer.

The biggest problem for the Red Devils have been their inconsistency in front of the gaol. Rasmus Hojlund has struggled to find the back of the net consistently and hence the team needs a reliable number nine who can score goals.

Manchester United Want To Sign Jonathan Burkardt

United in Focus have reported that the Red Devils are interested in Jonathan Burkardt and want to sign him in the summer. The 24-year-old German has been in sensational form this season for 1. FSV Mainz 05 and played an important part in their good run of form in the Bundesliga. Burkardt has scored 15 goals in 22 matches so far in the Bundesliga 2024/2025 season. He has amassed a G/A of 17.

Mainz 05’s homegrown star, is a striker who possesses tenacity with talent. His relentless pressing disrupts defences, while his sharp movement off the ball carves out space in tight areas. Quick and agile, the German thrives on the counter, using his pace to exploit gaps. Burkardt’s finishing is clinical—whether slamming shots with his right foot or nodding in headers, he is a constant threat. At 24, the 24-year-old’s vision and link-up play are maturing, making him a captain who leads by example. Tough in duels despite his frame, he’s a classy forward with Bundesliga brilliance in his veins.

Will it be a good move?

United fans will be buzzing about Jonathan Burkardt. Their attack has been a mess—Hojlund’s heart’s there, but he can’t finish consistently. The club need a proper No. 9, and Burkardt’s 15 goals in 22 Bundesliga games scream reliability. At 24, he is young, hungry, and tearing it up for Mainz. The German’s 17-goal contributions this season show he has got the goods. United should absolutely go for him this summer—pair that form with Amorim’s vision, and the club might finally have a striker to fix their goal-shy woes.
