Manchester United have scored nine goals in their last nine matches and failed to find the back of the net in four of those fixtures.

The recent struggles have made it clear the Red Devils must bring in a new striker next season.

Lautaro Martínez could be an option for Manchester United, if a report from InterLive.it is to be believed. His goal against AC Milan on Tuesday helped Inter Milan seal a berth in the Champions League final.

The Argentina international has 25 goals and 10 assists this season and his fine form has seen him draw attention from other clubs, with Erik ten Hag’s side said to be in the front row.

According to the report, Manchester United have been following the 25-year-old for a while and view him as the right man to bolster their strike force.

It’s then stated Ten Hag has Martínez as his first choice target for the summer. The report adds the Red Devils could soon ‘move with a proposal of €70m cash’ to sign the World Cup winner.

Inter wouldn’t favour him leaving from a sporting point of view, given it would be difficult for them to replace him.

They would try to put up a wall but that can be ‘swept away with a well-organised assault’ as it would be ‘hard to resist’ big offers from the Premier League.

The report seems more of a hype than there being a firm desire from Manchester United to table an offer for the South American, especially after Inter chief Javier Zanetti said on Tuesday that his side want to retain Martínez.
