One man posion is another man’s food, as United boss wants player rejected by Tuchel
Manchester United are allegedly interested in signing Tammy Abraham, a former Chelsea striker.
However, After bringing back Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan for a club record amount, the England international striker left Chelsea for AS Roma last summer.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is looking for a center-forward this summer, but they were unable to recruit Darwin Nunez, who chose to join Liverpool instead.
Tammy Abraham, 24, had a successful first season in Italian football, scoring 26 goals in 52 games across all competitions while also contributing five assists.
Abraham scored 17 goals and had four assists in Serie A for Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma, who finished sixth in the league.
Tammy Abraham also scored eight goals in the UEFA Conference League for Jose Mourinho’s side, which won the competition.
Manchester United has taken notice of the England international’s performances in Italy, according to Corriere dello Sport via Sports Mole.
Tammy Abraham is said to be Manchester United’s ideal replacement for Edinson Cavani, who departed the club as a free agent this summer.
Chelsea are reported to have a €80 million (£66.7 million) buy-back clause on Abraham, which they will not be able to trigger until next summer.
Tammy Abraham made 82 appearances for Chelsea and scored 30 goals and added 12 assists before joining AS Roma last summer after slipping down the pecking order at Chelsea.
Abraham made his England debut in 2019 and has three goals in 11 international appearances, all of which came in huge England victories.
