Man Utd preparing move for Bournemouth striker

Manchester United are weighing up a big-money move for Bournemouth striker Junior Kroupi at the end of the campaign.

The Red Devils are determined to bolster their striking department, and it may coincide with Joshua Zirkzee heading for the exit door.

Zirkzee has hardly played over the course of the campaign, and reports claim that he could be on his way back to Serie A this summer.

Amidst this, it is claimed that United have started the hunt for a replacement. They have earmarked Kroupi as a potential transfer target.

The Frenchman has had a fine debut season with the Cherries in the Premier League. He has netted 10 goals from under 1,250 minutes.

Kroupi has built his reputation with his exploits and reports claim that a package of £55 million could convince the Cherries to sanction his sale.

United are not alone in the pursuit of the 19-year-old marksman and could face fierce competition from Arsenal for the former Lorient ace.
