# Manchester United: Red Devils ‘monitoring’ Tammy Abraham

**[Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) are interested in making a move for Roma and England striker Tammy Abraham this summer, according to a new transfer rumour.**

### The Lowdown: Abraham improves in Italy

The Englishman made what was arguably a surprise move to Italy back in 2021, joining Roma in a deal that was [reportedly](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/12382050/tammy-abraham-chelsea-striker-joins-roma-on-five-year-contract-for-34m) worth £34million.

Abraham has justified his price tag for Roma, however, [scoring 17 Serie A goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/317506/History/Tammy-Abraham) in a very productive 2021/22 season and [netting 34 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tammy-abraham/alletore/spieler/331726) in total since arriving.

Now, it could be that a new challenge is heading the 25-year-old’s way, following a key update regarding his future.

### The Latest: Man Utd ‘monitoring’ striker

According to [*90min*](https://www.90min.com/posts/aston-villa-ready-to-move-for-roma-striker-tammy-abraham), United are ‘monitoring’ Abraham’s current situation ahead of a potential summer move, but Aston Villa are the current front-runners to sign him.

The striker’s current Roma deal doesn’t [expire](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tammy-abraham/profil/spieler/331726) until the summer of 2026 but they are ‘ready to discuss selling’ following a slight drop off in form this season.

### The Verdict: Is he good enough?

Abraham is undoubtedly a good player, having [scored three times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tammy-abraham/profil/spieler/331726) in 11 caps for England and being described as ‘big’ and ‘mobile’ by [former striker Kevin Campbell.](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tammy-abraham-tipped-by-expert-to-shine-for-arsenal-after-players-stance-reported-hes-a-fan/)

\[freshpress-quiz id=”418918″\]

There is an argument to say that United required a higher calibre of striker than him this summer, however, with the 6 ft 3 former Chelsea man not in that elite bracket in his position.

The Red Devils continue to be [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/manchester-united-premier-league-victor-osimhen-transfer-news-updates/) with a move for Napoli star Victor Osimhen and he is on another level to Abraham, having [scored 18 league goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/298510/Show/Victor-Osimhen) in as many starts this season.

This is the standard of player that United need to be signing to lead their attack, and with Abraham potentially costing more than £40million, they would be wise to look at other options.
