Man Utd identify top two striker targets for January

Manchester United have identified their top two striker targets for the January transfer window, according to Express Sport.

The Red Devils have been poor in front of goal this campaign and they have netted only 18 goals in the Premier League.

Their statistic is only better than Sheffield United, who are currently bottom of the standings with only nine points so far.

Hence, the club need a solution up front for their goalscoring and it is claimed that they are looking at two solid candidates.

Serhou Guirassy has been on fire in the Bundesliga with 17 goals and he has a release clause of only £17m in his Stuttgart contract.

Meanwhile, Joshua Zirkzee has netted seven times in Serie A for Bologna and has been pivotal to them being fourth in the table.

The Dutchman is more expensive than Guirassy with a £26m release clause but he is also five years younger than the Guinean.

Zirkzee could be United's preferred target at the turn of the year, considering Guirassy favours a move to London with Spurs.
