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 he has scored 41 goals in 50 games. He claims, “I told him to stay.”
According to reports, Galatasaray striker Mauro Icardi, who was previously snatched by Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, is interested in going on loan to Manchester United.

For the third January in the team’s history, Manchester United might need to negotiate a short-term deal with an accomplished center-forward.

Even while the purchases of Wout Weghorst and Odion Ighalo again 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 welcomed with far more excitement.

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

Thirty-year-old Icardi still has plenty of fuel in his tank. There will be questions about whether Icardi has the all-around skills to truly succeed in a Ten Hag squad because he is somewhat of a throwback to the time when real goal poachers roamed the penalty area. But few players in the current Man United team can equal the ruthlessness he displays.

Icardi has scored 41 goals in 50 games since joining Galatasaray in 2022 for around £8.5 million.

Football Transfers claims that the former Inter Milan captain would be open to moving to Old Trafford as well. According to reports, he was also keen to sign with United a year ago.

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

“I think Icardi is among the best attackers I have ever encountered. In his autobiography, Juventus great Giorgio Chiellini states that “he is almost impossible to mark inside the area,” according to PSG Talk.

“Mauro scored a lot against Juventus, which hurt me.” He is a top-tier centre forward, despite his shortcomings in several aspects of the team’s play. He is lethal in the air.

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

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 acts as if he is the owner of the box. Darting runs, dummies, and sudden changes in pace. All of this is meant to assist in setting a goal.

“He has a powerful physique to go along with his incredible qualities.”
