Manchester United officials impressed by Borja Mayoral

According to the journalist Dean Jones, manchester united They have been impressed by the performances of Getafe star Borja Mayoral amid their search for a striker.

The Spanish ace has had an impressive campaign with Getafe and has already scored 16 goals in all competitions. His progress has not gone unnoticed and writing in his Givemesport column, jones has revealed that Man United officials were impressed with the striker while monitoring Mason Greenwood's performances.

The Red Devils are looking for an alternative striker in the transfer market and it is claimed that Mayoral could be available for a low transfer fee in the region of £12m. Arsenal He has also been linked lately with the center forward, but jones claims that the reports are wildly off base as they have not explored it since 2019.

Alternative forward

United are currently weighing up their options for the back-up striker role amid the uncertainty surrounding Anthony Martial's future. The Frenchman will be injured for the next 9 weeks after groin surgery and could be released at the end of the season when his contract expires.

Manager Erik ten Hag has effectively ruled out a new striker joining the club this winter due to FFP issues, but the club are likely to invest in the department over the summer. They have been linked with some talented forwards such as Brian Brobbey and Joshua Zirkzee but Mayoral could also be an option.

The Spaniard has settled in Getafe after a series of transfers away from real Madrid in Wolfsburg, Levante and Rome. He has become a real goalscorer for the La Liga side this season and we would be surprised if they decided to let him go cheap during the next transfer window. The price could be higher than the £12m quoted by Jones.
