Manchester United<\/a> have entered the race for Germany U21 striker Nicolo Tresoldi, while Roma have had a \u20ac35million (\u00a330m) offer for the player snubbed, according to a report.<\/p>\n

Much of the speculation surrounding Man Utd<\/a> has been focused on their midfield pursuits, as they have signed Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans and are now searching for a third midfielder. Manu Kone, Sander Berge, Tyler Adams and Eduardo Camavinga are among their potential targets.<\/p>\n

But central midfield is not the only area United aim to improve this summer, as they also plan to give Michael Carrick a new centre-forward who can replace Joshua Zirkzee.<\/p>\n

The latter is expected to return to Italy, with Juventus big admirers. Belgian newspaper HLN<\/a> claims Club Brugge ace Tresoldi is a candidate to replace Zirkzee in Carrick\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n

\u2018Concrete interest\u2019 in Tresoldi is \u2018only increasing\u2019, and United have been keen for some time.<\/p>\n

\u2018Manchester United has had its eye on Tresoldi for quite some time,\u2019 it is claimed. \u2018A Premier League club, where money is put on the table just a little more easily.<\/p>\n

\u2018If United decides to go all out for Tresoldi, the Brugge side\u2019s plan will truly be in jeopardy.\u2019<\/p>\n

Brugge have decided Tresoldi is \u2018not for sale\u2019 this summer and have therefore rejected Roma\u2019s opening \u20ac35m proposal.<\/p>\n

But if a bidding war between United and Roma starts, and hits far higher figures, then Brugge could be tempted to cash in.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that Brugge have already sold Christos Tzolis to Arsenal for \u20ac40m (\u00a334m) this summer, which may impact their decision-making over Tresoldi\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils are said to be following the 21-year-old\u2019s situation \u2018very closely\u2019, believing he can make an instant impact at Old Trafford and also become a regular goalscorer in future years.<\/p>\n

United want a striker who can push Benjamin Sesko without affecting the 23-year-old\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

Man Utd seeking Sesko cover<\/p>\n

Victor Osimhen has been linked, but someone of that calibre would demand guaranteed starts, which would hinder Sesko.<\/p>\n

Tresoldi is certainly not the finished article, but he could develop alongside Sesko, helping to future-proof United\u2019s forward line.<\/p>\n

However, United fans may want a more experienced striker to join, such as Jean-Philippe Mateta or Dusan Vlahovic.<\/p>\n

Eli Junior Kroupi is another No 9 United are considering. He is only 20 but has already proved he can thrive in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Kroupi will be expensive though, as Bournemouth are demanding at least \u00a380m to sell him.<\/p>\n

Robert Lewandowski was briefly linked with a bombshell move to Old Trafford, though he has instead joined Chicago Fire in MLS.<\/p>\n
