Manchester United are ready to target a young striker in the coming months to shore up their front line.

The Red Devils did secure Rasmus Hojlund in the summer, but still want more fire power.

Per Tutto Mercato Web, Untied will make a £21.4 million bid for Santos forward Marcos Leonardo.

The 20-year-old is a Brazilian superstar who is already showing why he is so highly rated in the sport.

He has scored 16 goals in 34 games this term for Santos at first team level, while his level continues to improve every few months.

United believe that he can adapt to the Premier League and may move as soon as January.
