MU prioritizes buying 60 million pound striker

MU is paying special attention to a striker with experience playing in the Premier League like Ollie Watkins.

Watkins is wanted by MU.

The Sun said the "Red Devils" do not rate Benjamin Sesko (Leipzig) as highly as Watkins in this summer transfer window. Watkins has scored 75 goals in the Premier League since joining Aston Villa. He once played well with Bryan Mbeumo at Brentford. This is the factor that helps MU push this deal.

In an interview on July 29, Mbeumo also recommended Watkins to MU. He said: "Ollie is a complete striker. He can do a lot of things on the pitch. Ollie can drop back to create space or accelerate to close in on the opponent's goal. This is really good for me as a winger, because I can use the space he creates. In addition, Ollie has good coordination."

Watkins is considered a striker who sticks to the penalty area more than Sesko. Watkins' ability to move and accelerate has been proven through matches in the Premier League.

According to the Telegraph , Aston Villa have confirmed that they have no intention of selling their number one striker, despite the rumored price tag of around £60 million. Watkins' contract runs until 2028, giving the Villa Park team an absolute advantage at the negotiating table.

With stable performance and the ability to play well for another 3-4 years, Watkins promises to be a "difficult but worthwhile" deal if MU is determined.
