Manchester United should make an ambitious move for Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz to offer competition for Rasmus Hojlund up top.

Following his big-money move from Atalanta last summer, Hojlund is now the Red Devils’ unquestioned starter at number nine.

The Dane had a shaky start to his career, scoring only in the Champions League, but he has since regained his footing in the Premier League.

Overall, he has 13 goals to his name, and he should improve with time and experience.

Given that Anthony Martial’s contract is set to expire in the summer, United are likely to recruit a fresh striker to back him up.

In our opinion, Fulham’s Muniz would be an excellent candidate for United given his tremendous growth since becoming a regular for the London club.

Man United should make an audacious move for Muniz.

The Brazilian ace had a difficult start to the season with the Cottagers. He was originally benched before sustaining a knee injury near the end of the year.

The 22-year-old has reclaimed his starting position in recent months. He has been in excellent form since February, scoring eight goals in as many league games.

Muniz is not well-known for his distribution or link-up play, but his positional sense in the box has been remarkable.

He recently scored a late level for Sheffield United with a spectacular bicycle kick in extra time.

Overall, the youthful striker has taken about three shots per league game this season, with a conversion rate of more than 16%.

In our opinion, he would be an excellent understudy for Hojlund at United and could possibly establish a claim to a starting job given his finishing abilities.

Transfermarkt now values him at £8.5 million, although Fulham would undoubtedly demand a premium to consider selling him this summer.

Nonetheless, United should make an effort to get his signature. In our opinion, he may be acquired for a fee ranging from £35 to £40 million.
