Serhou Guirassy is not a target for Manchester United this summer.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils have had a terrible season in front of goal despite March and April seeing a sharp increase in the amount of times the side found the back of the net.<\/p>\n

A total of 47 goals in 32 league games is well below par for a team of United’s stature.<\/p>\n

A plethora of wing options and strikers have failed to turn up for the majority of the season, so these struggles should come as no surprise.<\/p>\n

The poor form of Marcus Rashford, as well as injuries to Anthony Martial, have largely placed all the pressure on Rasmus Hojlund, who has had a mixed bag of a debut season in England.<\/p>\n

With Martial leaving<\/a> this summer, United have made a new striker a priority for the summer with names such as Benjamin Sesko<\/a>, Harry Kane <\/a>and Joshua Zirkzee <\/a>all discussed.<\/p>\n

However one name that looks unlikely is that of VfB Stuttgart striker, Guirassy.<\/p>\n

The Guinean forward was heavily linked to United back in January <\/a>and it was even reported that Erik ten Hag’s side made an unsuccessful approach in the winter window.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, according to GIVEMESPORT<\/a>, “Serhou Guirassy is ‘not a target’ for Manchester United heading into the 2024 summer transfer window”.<\/p>\n

“Our sources indicate that despite links to a move to Manchester United, Guirassy is not actually being considered by the Old Trafford outfit”.<\/p>\n

The news may come as a surprise considering the 28 year old’s fine form of 27 goals <\/a>this season, reported desire<\/a> to move to England, and relatively cheap release clause of \u20ac17.5 million.<\/p>\n

However, United harbour concerns over the player.<\/p>\n

“Guirassy doesn’t quite fit with what United are looking for. The forward they target in the summer is likely to be younger and have a higher ceiling over the coming years, after the Guinea international turned 28 last month. Whilst his release clause looks reasonable, there is unlikely to be any re-sale value, especially if he fails to hit the ground running in the Premier League”.<\/p>\n

Moreover his tally of 14 goals last season and 12 the previous year, suggest the player is enjoying a purple patch far beyond his normal standard this season.<\/p>\n

The same outlet claimed recently that United aim to pair the 20-year-old Sesko with Hojlund as they believe the players will function well together and over time will develop a better partnership than with an older striker.<\/p>\n
