Manchester United have set their sights on signing Eintracht Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush, amidst a quest to bolster their attack and address their goal-scoring woes. The Red Devils have reportedly identified the Egyptian international as an ideal fit, given his impressive form this season. According to a report in Sky Germany, Manchester United are keen on signing a player who suits Ruben Amorim’s style of play, and Marmoush’s pace, skill, and finishing ability make him an attractive prospect.
The 25-year-old has been in scintillating form for Frankfurt, netting 14 goals and providing 10 assists in just 16 appearances this season. His impressive statistics have caught the attention of not only Manchester United, but also Liverpool, who see him as a potential replacement for the outgoing Mohamed Salah. Salah, who is in the final year of his contract, has expressed disappointment at the lack of extension talks and recent claims that he has yet to receive an offer have sparked concerns over his future at the club.
Manchester United’s hunt for a new attacker is driven by their poor form in front of goal, having managed just 13 goals in 12 league matches this season. The Red Devils have already splashed the cash on signings like Johsua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund, but both have failed to impress thus far. Therefore, the club is keen to bring in a player who can make an immediate impact and drive their attack forward.
One person who has expressed caution about drawing parallels between Marmoush and Salah is the latter himself. In a recent interview, Salah urged the media to stop comparing the two, citing the potential pressure it would put on Marmoush. Salah believes that Marmoush should be given the freedom to develop his own game and not be burdened by unrealistic expectations. “I see that he has great potential, he is an important player for his team and the national team, I want to stay away from him the idea of comparisons to make his life easier,” Salah said.
Salah’s warning comes as Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has already started exploring options to replace the Egyptian star, who has been the club’s talisman for several years. Marmoush’s impressive form and versatility have made him an attractive option, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United or Liverpool will succeed in their bid to sign the Eintracht Frankfurt star.
Regardless of the outcome, Marmoush’s future is likely to be closely monitored in the coming months, as he continues to light up the Bundesliga with his performances. With his pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability, he would undoubtedly be a valuable addition to either Manchester United or Liverpool, and it will be intriguing to see how his story unfolds in the coming transfer window.
