Man Utd tracking Moroccan striker En-NasyriCould pay upto £16m as transfer feeTen Hag wants cover for struggling HojlundWHAT HAPPENED?
According to the Red Devils are actively pursuing a move for the Moroccan striker in a bid to strengthen its squad in the January transfer window.
Amid a challenging season, with seven losses in their first 17 Premier League games and struggles with injuries and underperforming signings, United are ready to dip into their market to revive their fortunes. Their Danish frontman, Hojlund, is yet to score in the English top-flight and Marcus Rashford's declining output has compounded the troubles for Erik ten Hag.

United were earlier linked to Bundesliga sensation Serhou Guirassy, but it is believed that the striker prefers a move to United's league rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Scouts from United have been deployed to observe En-Nesyri's performances and will also be present in the upcoming La Liga clash against Atletico Madrid.
DID YOU KNOW?
En-Nesyri has been one of the few bright spots for Sevilla this season with his eight goals and four assists as the Andalusian side find themselves reeling in the 14th spot in La Liga.

Sevilla should be willing to offload the En-Nesyri as they are in the midst of a financial crisis and are looking to reduce expenses by offloading players which can help them fill their coffers. The striker could be a potent addition to United as he has proven himself on the international stage as well by playing a crucial role in Morocco's impressive run to the World Cup semi-final last year.
