Desperate Man United ‘Agree Loan Deal For Cameroon Star Vincent Aboubakar
English Premier League club Manchester United have reportedly agreed to sign Vincent Aboubakar on loan from Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr.
The Red Devils are desperately in search of another striker after terminating Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract at the end of last month.
Aboubakar, who scored one of the iconic goals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, has already spent 18 months with Al-Nassr, scoring 13 goals in 39 matches in all competitions.
Recent report as cited by Sports Mole has it that Manchester United were alerted by the player’s availability as Al-Nassr are also prepared to let him go on loan.
It was gathered that the Pro League club have already exceeded the limit for non-Saudi Arabian players in their first-team squad.
After completing the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, Al-Nassr need to allow one of the foreign players to leave before they could register the Portuguese legend.
Aboubakar's potential temporary switch to Old Trafford would not only strengthen Erik ten Hag's options in attack, but would also allow Ronaldo to be officially registered by Al-Nassr.
Manchester United are rumoured to have made Vincent Aboubakar their loan target for the January transfer window.
