Manchester United have added highly renowned strikers in the past two summer windows as they look to bring clinical presence upfront. At the moment, Rasmus Hojlund and Jousha Zirkzee are duetting for the number nine role at Carrington, and the club is looking to add another highly acclaimed striker as they look to compete with Chelsea to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s invincible striker, Victor Boniface.

The 23-year-old has taken his game to the next level since he moved to the German side, and United want to take advantage of his progress at Leverkusen.

Manchester United are set to compete with Chelsea to sign the Nigerian striker, per Fiaches; however, it would not be an easy task to snap the player from under his current employers as he has been tied to BayAreana till 2028.

It is expected that he could be available for a fee of €60 to €80 million. 

To put things into perspective, does it make sense for United to sign another striker that cost a multimillion of King’s finest?

Will United break the bank for Boniface?

United have time and time again chased the biggest available name for their striking option, and that has not always reaped dividends. These rumours linking the club to Victor Boniface seem another of those where chasing shining gems in the window seems more feasible than looking into the roster at Carrington. 

At the moment, despite the rumours, it looks highly unlikely for the Manchester Reds to make a move for Victor Boniface in 2025 unless there are any notable departures upfront.
