This summer, Manchester United is considering making a move to sign Adama Bojang, a young striker, as Erik ten Hag looks to improve his attacking options.
What has changed regarding Adama Bojang’s move to Manchester United?
Manchester United is one of the clubs now showing interest in Gambia talent Adama Bojang, according to Fabrizio Romano, who shared an update on the 19-year-old on Twitter.
“Understand Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig are pushing to close deal for Bojang, considered to be huge talent.”
Ten Hag is also interested in Mason Mount this summer, and even though United’s third offer for the Chelsea star was rejected, it might not be long before a deal is reached.
At Manchester United, could Adama Bojang take Anthony Martial’s place?
In preparation for the upcoming campaign, the Dutchman should prioritise improving United’s attacking options, especially in light of the fact that only two teams in the top half of the standings scored fewer goals than them in 2022–23, which may have prevented them from mounting a sustained Premier League title challenge. In total, 58 goals were scored by the Red Devils, 36 fewer than champions Manchester City.
Martial had just six league goals, and statistics showing that he was second in missed big chances (eight) and only sixth in shots per game (1.3) suggest that he was not particularly effective in front of goal.
With only a year left on his £250,000 per week contract, he faces an uncertain future at Old Trafford. Ten Hag may have to sell him this summer for a bargain price to get him off the payroll, though a lot will depend on whether he can sign another top-tier forward.
Bojang isn’t quite in the same league as targets like Rasmus Hojlund and Victor Osimhen, but because of his fierce playing style and speedy 6 foot 3 height, the young starlet has earned the moniker “Gambian Hurricane.”
He currently plays for Steve Biko FC in Gambia, but his best performances have come on the international stage, where he scored six goals in just eight games for the Gambia U20 team. He also proved his pedigree by scoring a stunning hat-trick against Sudan in the U20 Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinals.
He furthered his growing reputation by scoring twice in four U20 World Cup games. Antonio Mango, a U23 scout, recently praised him as having “insane talent,” suggesting that he might be a great addition for Ten Hag.
There is no reason why he can’t beat Martial at the Old Trafford team given his talent, which suggests he could be successful in England if he fits in well.
