Manchester United Eye Bournemouth Striker Evanilson as Potential Summer Signing
Manchester United are weighing up a move for Bournemouth’s Brazilian striker Evanilson, who has been identified as a strong candidate to bolster their attacking options during the current transfer window.
With Erik ten Hag and the recruitment team determined to add quality and depth to the frontline, United are actively exploring targets who can offer both immediate impact and long-term potential. Evanilson, known for his physical presence, sharp movement in the box, and clinical finishing, has reportedly caught the eye of the club’s scouts over recent months.
The 24-year-old has enjoyed a solid spell at Bournemouth, quickly adapting to the Premier League’s pace and physicality. His intelligent link-up play, pressing work rate, and ability to operate both as a lone striker or in a dual-forward system have made him a standout performer in a mid-table side.
Why Evanilson?
United’s interest in Evanilson comes amid concerns about inconsistency in their forward line. With Anthony Martial’s future uncertain and Rasmus Højlund still developing, the Red Devils are looking for someone who can compete for a starting role but also complement existing options. Evanilson offers a different profile: he’s strong in duels, technically sharp, and tactically mature — all qualities Erik ten Hag reportedly values highly.
Transfer Considerations
While no formal bid has been submitted yet, internal discussions are ongoing, and Bournemouth could demand a significant fee, given Evanilson’s age and potential. However, sources suggest United are prepared to make a move if the price is reasonable and the player shows willingness to join.
More updates and official statements are expected in the coming days as the situation develops.
