Manchester United will be making a bid for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as they look to beat Chelsea to the signing of the Barcelona star, according to reports.
Erik ten Hag wants a new forward to arrive by the time the transfer window slams shut on September 1.
And it appears the Gabon international is edging closer to a blockbuster return to the Premier League, though where he ends up will be intriguing to see.
Previously, the club have ruled out Aubameyang.
They refused to enter the bidding for the Gabon international when he was at Borussia Dortmund and it was a similar story in January when it was clear he’d be leaving Arsenal behind.
However, Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has now claimed United are set to launch a bid for the veteran as they look to improve their options in attack.
The Blues have, so far, been leading the race for the 33-year-old.
Chelsea have struggled to get a deal over the line for the Barcelona star, however, who is thought to be on the market as the La Liga giants look to balance their finances.
If United do manage to beat Chelsea to the signing of Aubameyang, it’s possible the Gabon star will jostle it out with Cristiano Ronaldo and Anthony Martial for a starting berth.
