Our Manchester United fans here in the Transfer Tavern will be hoping for big names incoming through the Old Trafford door this summer to replace the legend that was Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Jose Mourinho has certainly put his stamp on proceedings over his 18 months in charge of the Red Devils, and our barman thinks that he’s bought well in each window. It’s no different this summer, with the Red Devils already being linked with one many of the hottest properties around Europe.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the latest big name to leave Old Trafford, alongside long-serving Michael Carrick’s retirement. Indeed, the Swede hasn’t had the best of seasons this year after such a spectacular debut season in the Premier League, in which he was the Red Devils’ leading scorer and aided in their double-winning campaign under Jose Mourinho’s maiden season.

However, our landlord thinks that United should be looking at younger and hungrier strikers to be at Old Trafford for years to come, and reckons these TWO top-class strikers fit the bill…

Harry Kane

The Spurs striker is probably the hottest property in world football at the moment. He’s on fire in front of goal and many in the bar believe he’s close to going toe-to-toe with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as one of the best footballers around in 2018.

Injury has hampered his run but still Kane would cost a lot of money, especially to a fellow Premier League club but United have that in their locker and would surely do for Kane what they did for Ronaldo. As you can imagine, it’d surely have to be a record-breaking deal.

Ciro Immobile

The Italian is having one his best seasons in Serie A, currently hitting roughly a goal a game for Lazio. The striker is in red-hot form and surely deserves a go on a bigger stage sooner rather than later. Alongside his many goals so far, he’s contributed eight assists to the team and all of this doesn’t seem like letting up anytime soon.

Immobile doesn’t contribute much on the defensive side of things, but his goal to game ratio more than makes up for it. Surely a cheaper option to act as both cover and competition for Romelu Lukaku
