Manchester United considers Freiburg striker Igor Matanović

Manchester United is reportedly evaluating a potential transfer for Freiburg striker Igor Matanović to bolster its attacking options. The 23-year-old Croatian forward, who scored 15 goals in the Bundesliga last season, has been discussed internally at Old Trafford as the club reassesses its forward line.

The pursuit of Matanović is closely linked to the uncertain future of Joshua Zirkzee, who has been strongly linked with a move to Juventus. While Benjamin Sesko currently leads the centre-forward ranks, club officials are looking for a player who can provide genuine competition rather than placing excessive responsibility on Sesko.

Standing at 6ft 4in, Matanović is noted for having a physical profile similar to Sesko, though reports suggest he offers more technical versatility than a traditional target man. While Tottenham Hotspur is also monitoring the player, Manchester United is reportedly maintaining a measured approach to the potential deal.
