Man United meet agents of 3 striker targets before January — one is Timo Werner (reliability: 5 stars)

As per Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United are expecting to offload Anthony Martial on a permanent transfer next month.

If he leaves, Erik ten Hag would only be left with Rasmus Hojlund as an out-and-out striker till the end of the season.

The Red Devils have identified three striker options - Timo Werner, Donyell Malen and Serhou Guirassy.

Man United have reportedly held preliminary talks with agents of all three players.

Malen's name popped up amid rumours of a swap deal with Borussia Dortmund for Jadon Sancho.

As for Werner, his fall from grace at Chelsea has continued even on his return to RB Leipzig.

Out of the lot, Guirassy has been in red-hot form with 18 goals across competitions already for VfB Stuttgart.
