Man United ‘stepping up shock move for Everton flop but may face competition from Saudi clubs for £44.5m star’ as Ruben Amorim targets new striker

Man United ‘stepping up shock move for Everton flop but may face competition from Saudi clubs for £44.5m star’ as Ruben Amorim targets new striker

Former Everton striker Moise Kean is reportedly on Manchester United’s radar.

Kean enjoyed a resurgence at Fiorentina last season after a difficult spell at Goodison Park. 

The 25-year-old scored 19 goals and provided three assists in 32 Serie A appearances, helping the club secure a European place.

According to Italian outlet Gazzetta, United are now monitoring Kean’s situation with increasing interest. 

The Italian forward is understood to have a £44.5million release clause and is also attracting attention from Saudi side Al Qadsiah.

It remains unclear whether Kean would be open to a move to the Middle East, although a lucrative offer could tempt him.

Ruben Amorim wants a new striker after Man United's worst Premier League season

United are in the market for a new striker, with Rasmus Hojlund having struggled to make an impact since his big-money move to Old Trafford.

Sporting Lisbon’s Victor Gyokeres, a target who previously worked with Ruben Amorim, is said to prefer a move to Arsenal, while Liam Delap has already opted to join Chelsea over United.

Kean’s first spell in the Premier League with Everton failed to live up to expectations. Signed as a highly-rated youngster, he struggled to adapt to life in England and was criticised for his attitude. 

His struggles were perhaps best summed up when then-interim manager Duncan Ferguson substituted him just 18 minutes after bringing him on during a match against United at Old Trafford.

Kean managed only four goals in 39 appearances for the Toffees before a loan spell at Paris Saint-Germain and then a permanent move to Juventus.
