This is the type of players we want to recruit and he will be my first signing”-Out of love with Rashfold, Man Utd is eyeing move to sign with €35-40M SUPER star 🌟⚽
Manchester United is reportedly in the race to sign Borussia Dortmund’s electrifying forward Karim Adeyemi, who has been touted as faster than Marcus Rashford.
The Red Devils alleviated some pressure on manager Erik ten Hag with a decisive win over Southampton, but their Premier League campaign has been inconsistent, securing only two victories in their opening six matches. Despite the shaky start, United’s management backed Ten Hag during the summer, bringing in five new players.
Among recent transfer speculations, United has shown interest in AS Monaco’s Vanderson, valued between €35–40 million (£29–35 million) and seen as a potential upgrade for Diogo Dalot. Additionally, they are keeping an eye on Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Martin Baturina, a promising 20-year-old who has caught attention during international matches.
However, the club’s ambitions go beyond these names. According to Spanish reports via Caught Offside, United is eyeing Adeyemi, with Liverpool and Newcastle United also in the mix for the 22-year-old. Adeyemi joined Dortmund in 2022 from RB Salzburg and has become a standout player in the Bundesliga, combining extraordinary speed—clocking 36.30 km/h, faster than Rashford’s 35.71 km/h—with exceptional technical skills. Football analyst Ben Mattinson has described him as “unstoppable.”
With a contract running until 2027, Adeyemi’s transfer won’t come cheap, especially given his strong start to the 2024–25 season, where he has already contributed two goals and an assist in three league matches. Speculation suggests that United sees him as a potential replacement for Antony, who has struggled for form and is linked to a possible move to Fenerbahce.
If signed, Adeyemi could bring a new level of dynamism to United’s attack, complementing Rashford’s style and addressing some of the team’s creative gaps. His signing would also align with United’s broader strategy to reinforce key areas, as demonstrated by their pursuit of Vanderson and Baturina.
Securing Adeyemi would mark a significant step in United’s efforts to rebuild their squad and remain competitive in both domestic and European competitions. As the January transfer window approaches, his future could become one of the most intriguing storyline
s to watch.
