Man Utd transfer target pictured in shirt as Amorim waits on second signing

Manchester United started the summer with some quick transfer business by signing Matheus Cunha but are looking to add more quality to their forward line in the cooming weeks

Malick Fofana has been pictured wearing a Manchester United shirt after emerging as a target for the Red Devils. The young Lyon winger has been linked with United, Chelsea and Liverpool already this summer.

But, while highlighting his work before pre-season is underway, Fofana has issued an update that sees him in United colours. Posting on his Instagram, the 20-year-old winger has uploaded photographs of him training wearing United's third kit from 2022/23.

The luminous green shirt displays Marcus Rashford's name and number on the back. Though any prospect of Fofana playing alongside the England international appears unlikely with Rashord expected to depart this summer.

Reports in France suggest Fofana's future could lie elsewhere before Lyon return to training on July 7. The Belgian is said to be valued higher than Rayan Cherki, who joined Manchester City for £34million, and Chelsea have already made contract with the French club.

An exit for Fofana could now be more likely after Lyon were relegated Ligue 2 on after failing to provide financial guarantees to the game's watchdog. The ex-Gent ace scored five goals and provided four assists in 29 games in Ligue 1 and made his Belgium debut in November.

Ahead of this summer, Fofana changed his representatives, signing with Roc Nation Sports. But his former agency, BF SportsPartner, have previously claimed that a move to Liverpool would be Fofana's dream. They told Africafoot earlier this year: "The choice of heart would be Liverpool.

"He has the potential to enter the rotation, and above all, we would like to see him succeed African legends such as Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and El-Hadji Diouf. He has the profile to succeed in the Premier League.

"He possesses qualities similar to those of Manchester United's Amad Diallo, namely speed, impact, and the ability to create opportunities. There's no doubt he can shine.

"For him, this would be an opportunity to continue his development and, above all, to showcase his talent in a league that favours transitional play. However, he'll have to choose the right club, as competition is fierce across the (English) Channel."

United are looking to strengthen their forward line this summer but Ruben Amorim is still waiting for the Red Devils to add to their first signing. Matheus Cunha arrived at Old Trafford earlier in June in a £62.5m deal.

The Red Devils have seen multiple bids for Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo rejected. Brentford are holding out for a fee near £65m and it remains to be seen if United return with an improved offer.

Mbeumo has expressed his desire to move to Old Trafford, having also drawn interest from Tottenham. It remains to be see if United turn to other targets or pay what Brentford are asking however.
