INEOS want to sign “big talent” who could be Man Utd’s new Zlatan

It’s not a secret Manchester United they have been crying out for a new managerial position in recent weeks, with no good options at Old Trafford doing the business in the final third.

Joshua Zirkzee he arrived this summer hoping to strengthen the forward, giving fans reason to celebrate after his strike against Fulham.

However, the Dutchman has been around ever since he scored twice in his next 19 games in Premier Leaguethen they have to go to a place on the substitution bench.

As for Rasmus Hojlund, he has been the first option at the end of the pitch, since the last four games, but. failing to score in anything about their travels.

Like Zirkzee, he has been disappointing in 2024/25, which may lead to other options being explored.

Man Utd want £25m

According to the Italian publication Internews08, Man United are interested in signing him Inter Milan player Francesco Pio Esposito and INEOS are ready to offer the player an offer.

The 19-year-old is spending time on loan at Serie B side Spezia, who have more playing time, scoring six times in his first 18 games for the club.

The report claims that Milan are not considering an offer as cheap as €30m (£25m) for the youngster, with the Red Devils set to settle for a summer move for Esposito instead of January.

It is also said that they have no intention of letting him leave the San Siro, but the prospect of leading the forward for United could be an opportunity that would be hard to turn down.

Such a move would allow the boss Reuben the Amorite finding a genius who can end one player’s career at Old Trafford, perhaps seeing him follow in the footsteps of another star.

Why Esposito would be a good fit for Man United

Any move by Esposito could push Zirkzee forward, which could lead to him leaving the Netherlands to get playing time elsewhere.

It is unfortunate that the move did not go well for either party, but unfortunately, it is clear that they are not at the level required by Amorim with his 3-4-2-1 formation.

However, any deal for the young Italian would be an exciting prospect for fans, signing a talent who has already shown his qualities while still having more potential in the future.

Esposito is done 2.7 winners out of every 90 in Serie B this season, and a touch of 7.1 in the opposition box – leading to the expert Jacek Kulig describing him as “great talent“.

He has also won 5.7 aerials per 90, while also managing 3.4 shots per game, highlighting his style in the attacking zone, Kulig said. is an equal player for former United Ace Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Such comparisons are huge statements given the Swede’s incredible career at the highest level, United will undoubtedly sign a player who has the potential to succeed and follow in his footsteps.

However, the Italian has a large frame of 6 foot 2 which is similar to that of Zlatan, and his ability in the air and ability to create a moment of magic is definitely something that will excite his fans.

A move for the youngster would undoubtedly be risky, especially with a £25m fee, but it’s clear from his stats that he has a lot of potential that could be used for Amorim.

Undoubtedly, many will want to make a move to England this month due to the lack of the aforementioned players in the 2024/25 season – which led to their relegation in form.

Still, it’s a risk worth taking, taking Esposito for a good price if he can land Zirkzee – he’s the ex-Bologna man in need of a move to rekindle his promising career.
