DONE DEAL: Manchester United finally complete the signing of fans’ favourite striker who’s viewed as the next Wayne Rooney – He’s given a legendary squad number

Louis Saha was a player who captured the hearts of the fanbase at Manchester United over a four-and-a-half-year period, racking up 124 appearances for the Red Devils.

The Frenchman struggled with injuries during his stint at Old Trafford, but managed to register a total of 42 goals and 15 assists, helping the side win two Premier League titles.

Apart from his goalscoring record, he was also known for his movement and his ability to torment the opposition, with former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher paying homage to his movement off the ball.

By no means was he prolific during his spell in the North West, scoring one goal every three outings, but it was his all-round play that made him such a threat to sides in England’s top-flight.

In the present day, boss Ruben Amorim has the opportunity to land his own version of the forward in an attempt to help the side rise up the

The latest on United’s hunt to land new attackers this summer

Bryan Mbeumo has been the name on the lips of all United supporters this summer, with a deal for his signature appearing to be dragging on throughout the majority of the transfer window.

However, a breakthrough may appear in the coming days, after the Red Devils submitted a third offer of £65m fixed fee with £5m in potential add-ons.

He’s not the only attacker who’s emerged on their radar in recent days, with Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson a player they’re strongly considering, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

He claimed that Jason Wilcox have been discussing a deal for the signing of the 23-year-old striker in recent days, after he scored 13 times across all competitions last campaign. Jacobs further stated that Enzo Maresca’s side could be open to offers for the Senegalese international, with a £100m price tag for his services previously mooted.

Why United’s £100m target could be the perfect Mbeumo partner

Mbeumo’s ability to thrive in England has been showcased over recent months, especially after his latest year in the Premier League in the capital with Brentford.

The Cameroonian international managed to score 20 times in 2024/25, in what was the best goalscoring season of his professional career, leading to the interest in his signature.

He will be tasked with improving the situation within the final third, given United only managed to find the back of the net on 44 occasions in X their 38 outings last season.

However, he could be aided by Jackson in any attempts, potentially being the perfect partner to the 25-year-old, whilst also being Amorim’s answer to Saha.

The Senegalese star, who has “Louis Saha vibes” according to former Red Devils star Rio Ferdinand, always likes to get beyond the last defender, leading to Theo Walcott singing his praises.

Like the Frenchman, he’s not the most clinical option, scoring just 24 league goals in the last two years, but his all-round ability could see him be a success averaging 6.2 touches in the opposition box per 90, subsequently able to get on the end of Mbeumo’s deliveries.

His impressive numbers don’t stop there, averaging 1.4 shots on target per 90, whilst completing 1.2 dibbles per 90, having the talent in various areas to thrive at Old Trafford.

Jackson could also potentially return the favour for the Cameroonian should they both join the club, creating 1.2 chances per 90, potentially being the perfect striker for the current 3-4-2-1 system.

The £100m price tag that is being mooted is way too expensive for the Blues talisman, with the hierarchy needing to negotiate a deal if they are to land him this summer.
