What with Lukaku departure looking more likely, any inside info or any thoughts on who United should replace him with?

Remember Ed002 mentioning Sebastian Haller, but looks like he’s on his way to West Ham.

Ed also mentioned Steven Bergwijn, but also suggested he might move elsewhere also.

Ed also mentioned Lewandowski as an ideal replacement for a year but surely wouldn’t happen

Guess he might put faith in Martial to move to CF but he hasn't got a great track record in this position.

Maybe also Mason Greenwood, but not sure if he’s ready yet.

Not sure which forwards are available and could do a good job for United.

Possible names might include:

Icardi (though seems high maintenance)

Moussa Dembele (has done well in France)

Krzysztof Piatek: AC Milan

Timo Werner: RBL

Was sim Ben Yedder: mixed reviews about attitude

Guess there’s always OGS!

Some good options you’ve put there Wallace. It seems rashford is first choice and I hope he steps up but I have my doubts whether he’s a 20+ goal a seasons striker at the moment. Martial can be but his off the ball movement and workrate is atrocious. It’s actually embarrassing. If he put in half the work rashford does he’d be first choice, especially with his finishing.

I am a massive fan of piatek and I think he’d kill it in the premier league. If not him, Dembele or Werner would be my shouts. But we don’t seem to have interest in Werner. Dembele would be worth a punt.

Sanchez?

I don't think he will be replaced.
Sanchez and martial can provide cover at cf.
Lots of people think martial would be better through the middle.
In a 60 game season rash won't start many more than 40 so that's 20 games up top going for someone to stake their claim to rashfords position.
Right side is a concern but awb will make a big difference there.

Wasn’t there chat about Justin Kluivert at one stage too.

Werner would be my personal pick.

Only 23 and has lots of talent. Fast and strong so will fit in well in the Prem too.

He is also known to be a big admirer of Manchester United and has said he would love to play for us. Also 1 year left on his contract I believe.

Martial is a forward but I'd always played in the wing. It's unfair to judge him as a forward when he plays as a winger.

His work rate though is clearly lacking at times. Like his attitude aswell, it could be and should be better.
