Manchester United are under pressure to finalize a deal for Fiorentina striker Moise Kean, with reports indicating they have until July 15 to activate his £44.8 million release clause. The Red Devils are actively searching for a replacement for Rasmus Hojlund, who struggled to make an impact last season, scoring just four goals in 32 Premier League appearances.
Manager Ruben Amorim, who recently began pre-season preparations with his squad, has yet to see significant reinforcements, with Matheus Cunha being the only notable addition so far. Fans are growing increasingly concerned about the lack of activity in the transfer market, particularly in the striker position.
Kean, who joined Fiorentina from Juventus in 2024, enjoyed a productive season in Serie A, netting 19 goals. His efficiency in front of goal was evident, boasting the highest ratio of shots on target per 100 touches in the league. However, questions remain about how well he would fit Amorim's tactical system, which often demands strikers to contribute outside the penalty area.
Amorim's success at Sporting Lisbon was built on developing versatile forwards like Viktor Gyokeres, who thrived in counter-attacks and wide channels. If the Portuguese coach adopts a similar approach at Old Trafford, Kean may need to adapt his playing style, which could pose a risk.
Alternatively, United could explore other options, such as Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, known for his ability to make runs beyond defensive lines. As the deadline looms, the Red Devils must decide whether Kean is the right fit to lead their attack in the 2025-26 season.
For now, all eyes are on Manchester United’s next move as they aim to bolster their squad ahead of the new campaign.
