Manchester United consider replacing Joshua Zirkzee with Karl Etta Eyong

Summary

Manchester United is exploring the possibility of signing striker Karl Etta Eyong this summer, as Joshua Zirkzee's future at the club remains uncertain. Following a lack of establishment at Old Trafford, Zirkzee is linked with a move to Serie A. Eyong, currently at Levante, is prioritizing a move to the Premier League after rejecting a transfer to CSKA Moscow. Levante is expected to demand at least €30 million for Eyong, who has struggled for playing time recently. United may look to capitalize on this situation for their attacking options moving forward.
