Mohammed Kudus of Ghana and Ajax has drawn greater interest from Manchester United as a result of his fascinating performances thus far this season.
Five other clubs are vying for the services of the gifted footballer, but the Premier League team is in the lead.
After Ajax vetoed the transfer last summer, Kudus, who nearly left the team to sign a deal with Everton in search of playing time, is currently having his best-ever season.
The 22-year-old has been Ajax’s marksman especially in the Eredivisie scoring 11 and assisting twice. He carried his monstrous form with him to the 2022 World Cup while playing for Ghana and stood out once more with great performances in Ghana’s three group games.
The performance drew a number of interest from clubs across the top European Leagues including Borrusia Dortmund, Barcelona, and Manchester United.
Ajax, however, did not buy into the idea of selling him that early prompting some of the clubs to give up.
Meanwhile, Manchester United manager Erik Ten Haag seems to have a genuine interest in reuniting with Mohammed Kudus to help solve his attacking problems.
Ten Haag since taking over from Ragnick in the summer has largely relied on Marcus Rashford for goals and is keen on bringing in more options upfront in the summer and Kudus seems to tick the required boxes for what Manchester United lacks.
Before bowing out of the UEFA Champions League group stages, Kudus was a force to reckon with scoring four goals in six games.
He is currently nursing a muscle injury which he picked up last week and is expected to be back on the pitch in two weeks.
