Manchester United are targeting the transfer of Porto striker Samu Omorodion as they look to strengthen their attack under Ruben Amorim.
The Spaniard is impressing in the Portuguese top flight at the moment, having joined Porto from Atletico Madrid in the summer, scoring 11 goals in 9 games in all competitions so far.
according to filesMan Utd are now looking closely at Omorodion as a potential target to give new manager Amorim an update on failed duo Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund.
The Red Devils know all about Omorodion after facing him in the Europa League recently, and he was certainly a handful for their defence.
Could Samu Omorodion be better than Viktor Gyokeres for Man United?
Another striker in form in Portugal at the moment is Viktor Gyokeres, the leader of Amorim’s Sporting de LisboaBut could Omorodion really be a better investment?
Omorodion is, after all, six years younger than Gyokeres, so his best years are ahead of him, while he also has La Liga experience, while Gyokeres played in the Championship before his move to Lisbon.

There is no doubt that Gyokeres is in excellent form at the moment, but perhaps he has the air of someone who would find the Premier League more of a step up than Omorodion, and with less time on his side to develop- se and adapt to the English peak. Vol.
United need to think smart with their recruitment after so many high-profile mistakes on the scoreboard in recent years, with big sums splashed on flops like Jadon Sancho and Antony, and other big names before that ended up disappointing, like Paul Pogba, Alexis Sánchez and Angel Di Maria.
Gyokeres may seem like the more proven option, but United would do well to bring in someone like Omorodion now before he really peaks and becomes too expensive.
