Liverpool and Chelsea are also interested in the 22-year-old, who still has four years left on his contract with the Bundesliga side.

According to Sky Germany, United have just contacted Frankfurt. They want to find out the terms of a potential deal for Ekitike with Eintracht Frankfurt demanding a fee of 100 million euros (85 million pounds).

This is not an easy deal, as Chelsea are racing to sign the French striker.

Hugo Ekitike scored 15 goals and provided eight assists last season, helping Frankfurt secure a place in the 2025/26 Champions League.

News surrounding United and Ekitike has emerged since it was reported that Arsenal had made their first concrete offer for Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres.

MU is looking to add attacking personnel because both Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee played unconvincingly last season.

Recently, the Manchester team has contacted a series of strikers, including Gyokeres, Benjamin Sesko and Liam Delap.

They announced the £62.5m signing of Matheus Cunha yesterday, and are now pushing for Mbeumo after Brentford rejected their initial £55m bid.
