Man Utd show interest in signing Victor Boniface
manchester united are showing interest in signing Bayer Leverkusen star Victor Boniface, according to transfer journalist Florian Plettenberg.
After moving to the BayArena last year, the 23-year-old enjoyed a stellar campaign last season, contributing 31 goals in 34 appearances in all competitions. Additionally, he guided his team to win the Bundesliga title and the DFB Pokal trophy.
Earlier this season, the Nigerian helped Xabi Alonso's team win the German Super. Now, the striker has also continued to put in impressive performances this season, scoring six goals and registering just one assist in eight Bundesliga starts.
Furthermore, after demonstrating his qualities with the German team in recent times, he has also secured a place in the Nigerian team.
writing in unknown, Plettenberg claims Man Utd are interested in signing a new centre-forward and have identified Sporting CP star Viktor Gyokeres as the top option.
But the Red Devils also have alternative names on their wish list in case they fail to secure Gyokeres with Bonifacio among their targets. However, Leverkusen have no intention of letting him go just yet, so they are willing to offer him a new contract with a huge salary increase and have already been in talks with him to agree new terms.
Bonifacio to Manchester United
Man Utd will therefore have to offer a lucrative proposal to persuade Leverkusen to sell the valued at £37 million African striker.
Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee are the two centre-forwards that United have at their disposal at the moment. However, neither of them have managed to show their qualities consistently enough to prove that they are the right options for Ruben Amorim's team to help them achieve their great ambitions.
Therefore, acquiring a new prolific and experienced goalscorer would be the right decision. Boniface, who stands 6ft 4in tall, has shown flashes of his qualities in the German top flight in recent times.
Therefore, he could be a smart acquisition for Man Utd with an eye to the long-term future if they buy him. However, it will be interesting to see if the record first division The champions will finally formalize their interest in signing the Nigeria international next year.
