Juan Angulo: Club chief responds as United eye striker to replace Zirkzee Manchester United could look to sign a striker this summer. After resisting his sale last summer and again in the winter, INEOS now seem to be warming to the idea of letting Joshua Zirkzee go. The expectation is that they would cash in and replace him with a more orthodox centre‑forward.
Angulo one option to replace Zirkzee For now, the identity of that striker remains a mystery. However, one name emerging is Independiente del Valle’s, Juan Angulo . Recently, The Peoples Person relayed reports claiming United were eyeing the young Ecuadorian forward.
At 6ft 4in, Angulo is a giant in stature, but believe it or not, the 18‑year‑old is also extremely mobile and quick, qualities that make him a real handful. Early comparisons even suggest he plays in the mould of Erling Haaland. United must act now to secure their next top striker and avoid missing out again.
Perfect scouting, but never getting deals over the line It has been a recurring frustration: scouts identify exciting talents, only for rivals to swoop in and complete the signing. Heading into the winter transfer window, United were linked with Brazilian forward Rayan . Yet a lack of urgency saw Bournemouth snap him up, and now INEOS may have to part with at least £87 million to prise him from the Vitality Stadium, given the bright start he has had over there.
