Lautaro Martinez is one of six attackers that Manchester United are believed to be considering having missed out on signing Erling Haaland according to British newspaper The Mirror.
The Red Devils had drawn strong links to the Norwegian wonderkid but were not quick enough getting to him with Borussia Dortmund winning the race to sign him from RB Salzburg.
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been clear in recent weeks that they will try their utmost to bring in a new attacker in January and there is no shortage of players on their shortlist.
Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho, Lyon’s Moussa Dembele, Celtic’s Odsonne Edouard, RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner and Everton’s Richarlison are all believed to be under consideration as well as 22-year-old Lautaro, who has had a real breakthrough season this term.
The Argentine international has scored 13 goals in 22 appearances across all competitions this season and has also drawn strong links to Barcelona.
