# Manchester United: Red Devils make Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting contact

**[Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-transfer-rumours/) have made an enquiry for Bayern Munch forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, according to [Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg](https://twitter.com/Plettigoal/status/1589671522817306624).**

### The Lowdown: Choupo-Moting at Bayern

Previously of Stoke City, Choupo-Moting has been on the books with the Bundesliga champions since 2020. The 33-year-old has made [72](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eric-maxim-choupo-moting/leistungsdaten/spieler/45660) appearances for the German giants, scoring [28](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eric-maxim-choupo-moting/leistungsdaten/spieler/45660) goals and registering [nine](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eric-maxim-choupo-moting/leistungsdaten/spieler/45660) assists.

The Cameroon international, who could be at the [World Cup](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/world-cup-2022/) later this month, has been in fine form in recent weeks, contributing to [seven](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eric-maxim-choupo-moting/leistungsdaten/spieler/45660) Bundesliga goals in his last [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eric-maxim-choupo-moting/leistungsdaten/spieler/45660) appearances.

He has been hailed as a [‘great striker’](https://talksport.com/football/1227502/bayern-munich-nagelsmann-choupo-moting-mane/) by Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann, and it looks as if Old Trafford chiefs are keen on Choupo-Moting’s services.

### The Latest: Man United interested in Choupo-Moting

[Plettenberg](https://twitter.com/Plettigoal/status/1589671522817306624) took to Twitter on Monday evening to provide an update on Choupo-Moting and United. He revealed that the Red Devils have made an enquiry over a winter move for the Cameroonian as they seek out replacements for Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, Plettenberg added that Choupo-Moting ‘will stay’ in Munich, with talks over a new Bayern deal set to take place after the World Cup.

### The Verdict: One to watch?

Until a new deal is officially signed at Bayern, United may still attempt to bring the forward back to the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/).

Choupo-Moting’s current [contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eric-maxim-choupo-moting/profil/spieler/45660) is set to expire at the end of the season, meaning that the Red Devils could be able to discuss a possible pre-contract agreement in January.

However, should Ronaldo leave in the New Year, as has been [speculated](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/10/03/cristiano-ronaldo-can-leave-manchester-united-january/), then you’d expect that Erik ten Hag will need a replacement straight away, so this link to Choupo-Moting could be one to watch.
