Manchester United Target Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui in Striker Overhaul

The managerial team at Manchester United investigates Atalanta striker Mateo Retegui as an option to answer their ongoing search for offensive players.

Various high-profile European teams such as Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal seek to acquire Retegui because of his remarkable season performance.

Such frontline struggles at United could create the possibility for Retegui to emerge as their required attacking solution.

United’s Attacking Struggles

United lacked the poignancy necessary in their offensive attack despite fielding promising first-team players Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho with Rasmus Højlund during this season.

Høljund faces difficulties with Premier League physicality because his recent transfer from Atalanta involved a substantial fee and Rashford and Garnacho maintain inconsistent form in matches.

The fans express their dissatisfaction with his poor choice-making abilities coupled with subpar finishing skills.

Recent success by Joshua Zirkzee has some United supporters wondering if Højlund could get traded during the summer transfer period.

Ruben Amorim strongly desires an efficient forward option for the team which has made Mateo Retegui a serious acquisition target for his recruitment staff.

Mateo Retegui Rise and United’s Interest

During his impressive season, Retegui has scored 23 times and recorded four assists in 33 competitive matches.

His exceptional movement through defensive boxes combined with perfect finishing ability and pressure-resistant attacking style established Retegui as one of Serie A’s most desirable strikers.

Retegui started his professional career with Tigre before moving to Genoa and Atalanta where he achieved maximum success. European top clubs wanted to sign him yet Atalanta refuses to sell him at an inexpensive value.

The reports indicate the Italian team will require between €50-60 million (£43-51 million) as transfer compensation for their top-class forward.

The signing of Retegui offers United a chance to develop their offensive department as they seek immediate attacking reinforcement.

Both PSG and Arsenal seem interested in signing him so Manchester United must finalize their deal quickly if they want to obtain the player during summer 2023.
