Manchester United have added Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush to their list of transfer targets.
The Red Devils are looking to strengthen their attackwith doubts growing over Joshua Zirkzee after a poor start to life at Old Trafford, although it appears Ruben Amorim wants to keep Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund.

Marmoush’s goal-scoring exploits in Germany and links with Liverpool have previously led Mohamed Salah to talk about his fellow Egyptian international.
It’s fair to say Salah is a fan of the 25-year-old, although he also asked people not to compare them to each other.
Speaking of Marmoush in an interview with WinWinSalah said: “Omar Marmoush, incredibly talented and currently a key player for his club and national team.
“But I hope he can stay away from the comparisons because they will continue to put him under constant pressure.
“I just want him to avoid the idea of comparisons. People need to stop comparing him to me, saying he’s ‘the new Salah’ and he’ll do what I did or even better, that doesn’t help him; it just it puts him under constant pressure.
“You can’t compare it to a player who has achieved so much over the years while starting out. Let him have his own experience and enjoy it. He’s doing something different, in his own unique way.”
Should Omar Marmoush join Man United or Liverpool?
Both United and Liverpool could strengthen up front, but which team would be a better fit for Marmoush himself?
Marmoush would probably have a better chance of securing a regular starting place at United due to the lack of competition in Amorim’s squad at the moment, but he is also a risk after so many players have joined the Red Devils in recent years and have turned back.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are still flying high under Arne Slot, and while there is competition from the likes of Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo, it could be a good team for Marmoush to move to next in order to progress his career and win big trophies.
