Manchester United have held initial talks to gauge the possibility of a summer move for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike.
United have prioritised the addition of a striker this summer and have gone back to the drawing board after they missed out on a move for preferred target Liam Delap. They also held an interest in Sporting star Viktor Gyokeres but view a move as unlikely due to the fact he would rather join Arsenal instead.
Ekitike is viewed as another appealing option for the striker role at Old Trafford, though it is understood Chelsea and Liverpool both also have an interest in his signature. United could have a relatively free run at the 22-year-old though, given Chelsea have already signed Delap, Liverpool are set to spend big on Florian Wirtz, while Arsenal are more likely to sign either Gyokeres or Benjamin Sesko.
