Man Utd ‘make Mauro Icardi transfer enquiry’ as desperate Erik ten Hag targets PSG star amid Cristiano Ronaldo issues
MANCHESTER UNITED are claimed to have enquired about signing Paris Saint-Germain striker Mauro Icardi.
The Red Devils are desperately searching for a new goalscorer with Cristiano Ronaldo looking for a way out of the club and Anthony Martial sidelined by injury.
Manchester United are reportedly keen on a move for Mauro Icardi
After walking away from a move for Marko Arnautovic due to backlash from fans, United have now turned their attention to Icardi.
The club have made an “informal enquiry” to Icardi’s representatives about his services, according to Get French Football News.
Icardi’s wife Wanda Nara also acts as the striker’s agent and will be responsible for negotiating her husband a move.
Although there is not thought to have been any official contract between the two clubs yet.
PSG themselves are desperate for the 29-year-old to leave.
Icardi has not been included in either of the French club’s two Ligue 1 matchday squads so far this season.
And boss Christophe Galtier has confirmed Icardi is for sale this summer.
He recently said: “I told him that I want to reduce the size of the squad and not work with 25 outfield players. The club is working closely with Mauro to find the best possible solution.”
The Argentinian ace started just 13 games in all competitions last season.
His five goal return in the 2021-22 campaign is his worst tally since breaking into the first team at Sampdoria in 2012.
The Red Devils though seem to have bookmarked Icardi as the man so solve their goalscoring woes.
