Premier League legend Jamie Vardy, known for his 145 goals during a 13-year spell with Leicester City, is currently without a club. Despite being 38 years old, the former England international is not planning to retire.
While speculation has linked Vardy to various clubs, including Wrexham and teams in MLS, there are suggestions he could potentially secure another contract in England`s top flight. Surprisingly, Old Trafford has emerged as a possible destination.
Manchester United are actively looking to strengthen their attack, as their current options, such as Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, have not consistently convinced in the central striker role. United has reportedly been presented with opportunities to sign several experienced English forwards who are available as free agents.
According to insights from The Athletic, United have been offered the chance to sign players like Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jamie Vardy, and Callum Wilson, who are free agents. It is anticipated that United might consider pursuing these options, if at all, primarily towards the closing stages of the transfer window should their primary targets remain out of reach.
The Red Devils have been strongly linked with Sporting CP standout Viktor Gyokeres and Nigerian international Victor Osimhen, though definitive agreements have not yet materialised. Additionally, reports indicate United`s interest in Moise Kean, a forward with previous stints at Juventus, Everton, and Paris Saint-Germain.
The Athletic further details Kean`s recent development, noting that since his move to Fiorentina, he has evolved into a more focused penalty-box striker. Last season, his 19 league goals were second only to Atalanta`s Mateo Retegui in Serie A, with the vast majority scored from within the 18-yard box. His statistics show a high ratio of shots on target per touch, suggesting a tactical shift towards lethal finishing rather than dropping deep for link-up play.
Now 25, the Italian international is seen as having matured significantly since his less prolific time at Everton. Manchester United are reportedly prepared to escalate their efforts to sign a forward of Kean`s style as they look to address their need for more attacking prowess.
