Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike has hinted Manchester United would be his prefered destination this summer.
The Frenchman has enjoyed a breakthrough season in the Bundesliga, scoring 19 goals in 38 appearances across all competitions.
Arsenal, Liverpool and United are among some of the clubs reportedly keen on Ekiteke, with Frankfurt set to cash in on their prized asset.
And the 22-year-old hinted that a move to Old Trafford would be his preference in a recent YouTube video posted by Frankfurt.
When asked which club was his 'favourite' as a child he quickly responded 'Manchester United'.
Ekitike joined Frankfurt on loan from PSG in January 2024 before the German side made a £13.2m deal permanent last summer.
The France Under-21 international impressed during the international break as he bagged a hat-trick against Lee Carsley's U21 England side.
Ekitike still has four years remaining on a deal that sees him earn somewhere in the region of £50,000 a week week.
Mario Goetze recently said of his Frankfurt: 'Ekitike has a skill that few players possess . He has dribbling skills, finishing, and speed. He's an added value to the team.'
Ruben Amorim's United are expected to sign a striker this summer amid their woes in attack this season.
Joshua Zirkzee has struggled since his £36.5million move from Atalanta, with the Dutchman scoring just three Premier League goals in 29 matches.
Similarly, Rasmus Hojlund has netted 3 goals in 24 appearances and ended a 21 match goal drought against Leicester.

Why can’t United buy elite players than going for averages ppl Epl is not for kids, anthony just said he is not coming back imagine saying he feel better in betis what did that tel u man. u want to do what with do about kane and rasmus. Instead of us to buy kane we went for rasmus now we are the same category with westharm and everton because rasmus wont start in crystals palance we are far behind man and i see it one decade done so we don't learn in the first decade now is another decade counting we are still repeating the same mistake we need top player who can take us back to the glory days not all these average who has no sense of rivalry

You understand United brother we are not buying any player with name anymore we are buying those who want to play not who want money money Oshime is good player but as it is now can we afford the money to buy him moreover is not that our striker is not good but the way the team play make him look bad We are not creating chances If we start creating chances we will see his best
Exactly my friend, you understand the project and the direction the club is going perfectly 👏🏻 So many clueless fans still fail to understand this….

Another youngster is about to waste his career. Depay, Anthony(France), Anthony (Brazil), Sancho, Rashford, Hoijlund, Zirkzee, De ligt, ....I can name many more.....had all turned into fringe players, despite the promise they had before Man Utd. That's the Theater of Killing Dreams....that Trafford is Old and rusty, and all young players should be careful in going there.
Bro at list you should have common sense.depay went to bacca how was he there from bacca to Atletico was he better there so what rubbish are you saying
