Manchester United are tracking the progress of Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard.
The French forward has had an excellent season for the Scottish champions, scoring 24 goals in all competitions for the Hoops, and tops the SPL goal charts.
Now his form has attracted attention from elsewhere, and Manchester United are considering adding him to their list of summer transfer targets.
Edouard, who has two and a half years left on his current contract with Celtic, is reputed to be flattered by the interest shown in him by other clubs but insists that he is just focused on helping his current side retain their league title.
The reports come amidst some confusion amidst the situation of Odion Ighalo whom United signed on a six month loan from Shanghai Shenhua, on the last day of the transfer window. The Nigerian striker was excluded from the club’s training camp in Spain and has trained apart from the other players because of the threat of the coronavirus.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
