Manchester United have drawn up a shortlist of strikers as they look to strengthen up front this summer, according to Sky Germany.

The report claims that, alongside Sporting CP's Viktor Gyökeres and Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen, the Red Devils have two Bundesliga forwards on their radar - RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko and Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike.

Sesko has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Chelsea, Arsenal and Newcastle United also said to be keeping tabs on the Slovenian international, who reportedly has a performance-related release clause of up to 80 million in his contract.

As for Ekitiké, Eintracht Frankfurt would be willing to sell if the offer is right, with Die Adler hoping to receive as much as 80 million for the Frenchman.

Eintracht made a similar sale in January when Omar Marmoush left the club to join Manchester City for a reported fee of €75 million.
