Manchester United have suffered a major setback in the transfer market after their top striker target from RB Leipzig rejected a move to Old Trafford and instead opted to join Newcastle United.
The decision has left new manager Ruben Amorim with limited attacking options as the season approaches, sparking frustration among fans who were expecting a marquee forward signing.
A club insider revealed, “He was the top target. This is a major setback — the search continues, but time is running out.”
With Newcastle securing the deal and United still scrambling for solutions, pressure is mounting at Old Trafford as the squad remains incomplete heading into a crucial campaign.
