Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, a talented forward from Bayern Munich, has caught the attention of Manchester United. According to reports, the player is open to the idea of joining the Premier League club during the January transfer window. The United manager, Erik ten Hag, is eager to add a new central striker to the team before the end of the month and Choupo-Moting is one of the names on their shortlist.
Despite his age, the 34-year-old has proven to be a valuable player for Bayern. However, this season, he has struggled to secure playing time, only starting three matches in the Bundesliga and none in the Champions League. The arrival of Harry Kane last summer has made it even more challenging for Choupo-Moting to secure a regular role in the team.
According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, Choupo-Moting is keen on joining Manchester United. However, the Premier League club may face difficulties in convincing Bayern to let go of the player, as he has been a reliable substitute for them. Romano shared, "I'm also hearing that at Bayern Munich they're very happy with him because he's been super professional every time they needed him, he's always been on point and always been available in the best conditions."
Bayern would ideally like to keep him, even with the addition of Harry Kane to the team. This is because their other striker, Mathys Tel, is quite young and still developing. Despite his fantastic performance, he is not yet ready to take on the role of a regular starter. This may make it challenging for United to secure Choupo-Moting's transfer, but they are determined to try.
Bayern signed Choupo-Moting on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in October 2020. He has since helped the German club win three Bundesliga titles and has been an essential player for them. Last season, he had the best performance of his career, scoring 17 goals in 30 appearances across all competitions. It remains to be seen whether Choupo-Moting will make the move to Manchester United, but his potential transfer has certainly caused a stir in the football world.
