Man Utd handed boost with 19-goal striker eyeing January exit

Manchester United have been handed a boost with Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy prepared to pursue a new challenge next month.

The Guinea international has been in sensational form in the current campaign and he has netted 19 goals from just 16 appearances.

This has caught the radar of many elite European clubs and they will have the opportunity to sign him on the cheap in the New Year.

Guirassy currently has a release clause of only €17.5m and he has declined to sign a new contract with Stuttgart to increase the value.

The 27-year-old wants to secure a bigger challenge in January and it is claimed that he could end up in the Premier League.

United and Tottenham Hotspur are among favourites to land the former Rennes man, but there could be more competition.

The likes of Chelsea and Arsenal require a new striker and could also enter the pursuit of Guirassy, who is in the form of his life.
