Manchester United signings face difficulties, Vardy becomes the ideal striker

Most of Manchester United players have returned to Carrington base and started pre-season training for the new season.

But the club's summer window transfer plan is still hanging in the air, unable to go to the sky, unable to get to the ground, unable to buy what you want to buy, and unable to sell what you want to sell.

Manchester United needs to buy a striker, and it is definitely not enough to only come to Cunha with just one new player.

The Athletic reported that several strikers with Premier League experience have been recommended to Manchester United, and the players also took the initiative to show goodwill to Manchester United. Including Vardy, Karum Wilson and Lewin, they are all free agents. If they join, Manchester United will not need to pay the transfer fee. Rumors about former Everton center Lewin were reported a few days ago, but Manchester United is cautious about Lewin's injury record and it is unlikely to give him a offer. Among the three, Vardy, who has the lowest career starting point, scored the most goals and achieved the highest achievements, has a comprehensive assessment in all aspects that meets Manchester United's requirements. Although he is also the oldest.

Valdi doesn't need to introduce it too much. He was eliminated by the youth training of a professional team when he was a teenager. He once made a living by working. He played in the eighth-level league in the early stage of his career. He joined Leicester City at the age of 25 in 2012, and since then he started a magical grassroots counterattack.

Until the expiration of the contract with Leicester City this summer, Vardy played in 500 games in 13 years at Kings Stadium, scoring 200 goals, helping Fox City win the Premier League championship in the 2015-16 season and creating the unique Blue Fox miracle.

Vardy also scored 11 consecutive Premier League goals, breaking the original Premier League record held by Van Nicht. At the same time, he also won the Premier League Golden Boot at the age of 33 in the 2019-20 season. He is the oldest player to win the Premier League Golden Boot and the only player in Premier League history who scored more than 100 goals (111 goals) after the age of 30.

In the 2024-25 season, Vardy made 35 appearances for the Foxes City in the Premier League, handing over 9 goals and 4 assists. The number of goals and goal efficiency exceeds all Manchester United strikers.

When talking about his future, Vardy said that he hopes to stay in the top league and will stop fighting until his legs "tell" that he cannot continue.

Theoretically, Vardy coached Hoylen, Zilkze and others to play more than enough. His style is not fancy but extremely practical, and it definitely makes the opponent the most uncomfortable and annoying. In recent years, Vardy scored goals like taking pictures, killing and killing, scoring 11 goals against Arsenal, 10 goals against Liverpool & Tottenham each, and 9 goals against Manchester City...

However, TA also pointed out that Manchester United will only consider signing forwards such as Vardy or Wilson when the transfer window is about to end and cannot sign core target players.

TA: Manchester United closely monitors Keane Jr.

The Athletic report, Manchester United's forward signing candidates also include Fiorentine striker Moise Keane, whose termination fee is 52 million euros, valid until July 15, and Saudi teams are also interested in him.

Keane Jr. has played in the Premier League before, but his experience with the Toffees is very mediocre, with only 2 goals and 2 assists in 32 Premier League games. Last season, he performed well in Fiorentina, with 25 goals and 3 assists in 44 games in various competitions, and 19 goals in 32 games in Serie A (only 1 penalty kick), becoming an efficient shooter.

Keene Jr. and Purple Lily's contract includes a 52 million euro termination clause, but it needs to be activated by July 15, and Manchester United is evaluating this option.

players performed poorly in the Premier League in the early days, and there were many examples of returning to the Premier League after training in other leagues. Typical examples are Salah, who did not understand at Chelsea at the age of 22, and later went to Serie A Fiorentina and Rome, and soared into the sky after landing in Liverpool at the age of 25.
