Breaking News: I told him to stay but he wants to join Man Utd this January – Fred confirms ‘World-class’ striker keen on Manchester United move after 41 goals in 50 games

Fred affirms that the “world-class” striker is eager to join Manchester United in January after scoring 41 goals in 50 games. He says, “I told him to stay.”
Galatasaray striker Mauro Icardi, who was previously plucked by Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, is rumoured to be interested in signing a loan deal with Manchester United.

It’s possible that for the third January in franchise history, Manchester United will need to sign a short-term contract with an accomplished center-forward.

Even while the purchases of Wout Weghorst and Odion Ighalo tell you everything you need to know about United’s squad-building and financial mismanagement under the Glazers, the potential arrival of Mauro Icardi would surely be met with far more excitement.

One of the greatest finishers of the modern age, Icardi, has already netted 17 goals in 25 games for Galatasaray this season. The Argentina international scored one goal in the 3-2 Champions League triumph at Old Trafford in October against Erik ten Hag’s squad.

At thirty, Icardi has plenty of petrol left in his tank. There will be questions about whether Icardi has the all-around skill to actually succeed in a Ten Hag club because he is something of an outdated throwback to the day when true goal poachers roamed the penalty area. Still, few players on the current Man United roster can match the ruthlessness he delivers.

Icardi paid roughly £8.5 million to join Galatasaray in 2022, and in 50 games since then, he has scored 41 goals.

The former Inter Milan captain might be open to moving to Old Trafford, according to Football Transfers. A year ago, he was also apparently keen to join United.

Ten Hag may finally achieve his wish if he can move past Anthony Martial.

“In my perspective, Icardi is among the best strikers I have ever encountered. Giorgio Chiellini, a Juventus icon, states in his memoirs that “he is almost impossible to mark inside the area,” according to PSG Talk.

“Mauro’s high scoring against Juventus hurt me.” Despite his shortcomings in some aspects of the team’s performance, he is an elite centre forward. He is lethal when in the air.

Manchester United may attempt to buy a number of seasoned centre strikers for less money in January, including “a world-class striker” Icardi. There’s also the connection between Stuttgart’s Serhou Guirassy and former Chelsea attacker Timo Werner.

Argentina legend Hernan Crespo tells Gazzetta dello Sport that “Icardi is a complete center-forward.” “He can score goals with his head, left foot, or right foot.” He walks as if he were the box’s owner. Darting runs, dummies, and sudden changes in pace. It’s all meant to assist in defining an objective.

“He has incredible qualities and a powerful physique to match.”
