Erik ten Hag snubs Joao Felix to name three attackers he would love to land

Man United boss, Erik ten Hag prefers having three other strikers in his squad ahead of Joao Felix who is currently linked to a move to Old Trafford amid Cristiano Ronaldo uncertainty.

Following his refusal to come on as a last minute substitute before angrily leaving the pitch before the full time whistle, Ronaldo’s place in the Man United team is hugely under question.

With a possible departure looming for the Portuguese, Erik ten Hag is tasked with landing a good replacement for the five time balon d’or winner.

Despite earlier claim stating that Joao Felix is a top target for United, it has now appeared that the former Benfica man isn’t even near ten Hag’s want list.

Manchester United need a proper 9 which Felix isn’t, having most times preferred to play as an attacking midfielder or a supporting striker making him not one of the players ten Hag is eyeing.

Lille’s Jonathan David, Bayer Leverkusen’s Patrik Schick and Lyon’s Moussa Dembele are the names ten Hag is reportedly looking at as he prefers someone is naturally built for the role.

Jonathan’s consistent form in the Ligue 1 has gained him the hype for a possible Man United trip. The Canadian scored 32 times across the last two seasons for Lille and is now on even a better stat with 9 goals in 11 games this season.

With two and half years left on his contract paper, United are also lining up another name should his signing become an impossible task with next on the list being Patrik Schick

Patrik did last season second Erling Haaland in the highest scorers list but has so far this season netted just thrice in over 10 games for Leverkusen.

Moussa Dembele is the last on the list after losing his spot to Alexandre Lacazette who returned to Lyon to rediscover a superb form.
