Manchester United receive a transfer boost in their pursuit of FC Copenhagen forward Roony Bardghji
In January, a significant opportunity has emerged for Manchester United to secure the signature of FC Copenhagen forward Roony Bardghji. Bardghji has been in sensational form for the Danish club this season which involved a spectacular goal against United.
The Red Devils attacking department has struggled to produce decent output in front of goal this season. United has suffered a nightmare season as they crashed out of the Champions League and the Carabao Cup.
The Manchester giant have only scored 33 goals in all competitions from 25 games so far this season. Furthermore, they failed to score a single goal in eight matches as their attackers faced scrutiny from fans and pundits.
Since his club debut this season, United’s recent signing Rasmus Hojlund has received praise for his promising performances. However, the 20-year-old has failed to open his account in the Premier League, missing nine big chances in the process.
Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford, Antony and Anthony Martial faced heavy criticism for both poor performances and poor goal tallies. Alejandro Garnacho is the only attacker with somewhat respectable contributions during this season, even though it is still not enough.
90min reported that the Red Devils are ready to challenge rival clubs like Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur to sign Bardghji. The report also suggests that Copenhagen are willing to sell their top prospect in the January transfer window.
Bardghji has been in sensational goalscoring form for the Copenhagen side that registered a home victory against United. The Danish club has successfully qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League, surprising everyone in Europe.
The 18-year-old naturally plays as a right winger but he is versatile enough to play more centrally if required. The Sweden U21 stands at just 1.73 metres but holds a deceptive strength and low centre of gravity in duels.
Bardghji has the technical ability, pace and intelligent moment to exploit spaces and act as a continuous attacking threat. The 18-year-old has made 30 appearances in all competitions, contributing with 11 games this season, showing steep development.
