With it now confirmed that Erik ten Hag will remain as Manchester United boss, Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s on-field rebuild can now begin.
After last season, improvements are needed across the squad, and plenty of new faces will arrive.
The centre-back position has been highlighted as a priority to reinforce, while the Red Devils will also look to add to their midfield, but it’s the centre-forward role that needs backup.
Rasmus Hojlund was pushed to his limits last season due to the lack of rotation options, which means a new attacker could arrive through the doors of Old Trafford this summer.
Man Utd want a new striker
As per a report from German outlet BILD via SportsWitness, Man Utd are interested in signing Maximilian Beier.
It’s mentioned that the Red Devils have made a move for the centre forward, having ‘asked what the terms would be’ for his signature.
The German reportedly has a £27.5m release clause in his contract at Hoffenheim, which makes him a steal for many clubs.
However, unfortunately for United, they will face competition from other Premier League clubs for Beier’s signature, including Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, as well as Bayer Leverkusen.
Why Beier would be a great signing for Man Utd
This time last year, Beier was playing his football in the German second tier for Hannover, but fast forward to today, and he’s one of the most promising prospects in the Bundesliga.

The 21-year-old started the 2023/24 campaign on the bench, but after a couple of impressive substitute cameos, he became irreplaceable.
The Hoffenheim gem has even worked his way into the Germany squad for the upcoming European Championships, which just proves how influential he was over the season.
