Manchester United are in the hunt for a new striker as a number of attackers are set to leave at the end of the season. Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, and Edinson Cavani are all likely to depart. Antony Martial’s future is still unknown.

Striker wants to fill Haaland's shoes

Adeyemi is possibly intrigued by the fact that he will walk into Dortmund’s starting eleven, considering Erling Haaland’s imminent departure. Haaland is sought out by Manchester City who are ready to activate his release clause.

The 20-year-old currently leads Austria goal scoring charts with 17 goals. He also popped in with a couple of goals and assists in Salzburg’s Champions League campaign before they fell to Bayern Munich in the round of 16.

Goal further understands that he will now sign a five-year deal with the deal as he seeks to emulate Haaland’s impressive streak in front of goal. He has also been previously linked to Liverpool.
