Manchester United Are Eyeing A Move For This Gifted Striker: One For The Future? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes revealed that Manchester United are eyeing a move for Palmeiras striker Vitor Roque. It has been mentioned that the Red Devils are keen on acquiring the services of the Brazilian forward as they look to strengthen their attack for the long run.

Roque’s Impressive Rise In Brazilian Football

Roque has enjoyed a good run of form at the Brazilian club as he has put in a series of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 20-year-old has made 49 senior appearances for Palmeiras thus far, scoring 17 goals and earning five assists in various competitions.

The Brazilian attacker is currently among the best young forwards in his homeland. Thus, it is no surprise that Man United are showing interest in signing him next year.

His current contract at the Mancunian club will run out at the end of 2029, which could make it tough for the Red Devils to land him on the cheap.

Manchester United Are Eyeing A Move For Roque: Is He A Prospect For The Future?

Roque can create a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has got the eye to play some decisive passes in and around the opponent’s penalty area.

The Brazilian talent is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can chip in by scoring and creating his fair share of goals up top. However, there are some concerns over whether he can make a smooth transition to life in the Premier League if the Red Devils manage to land him in 2026.

Roque would no doubt enhance the quality of Man United head coach Ruben Amorim’s frontline in the long run. He is already good enough to challenge for regular first-team football at Old Trafford.

At 20, Roque has the potential to be a future star in English football. Therefore, Man United should focus on stepping up their efforts to bring him to the Theatre of Dreams. Roque is undoubtedly a prospect to watch out for in the future, so Amorim would be wise to go all out to secure his services this January or at the end of this campaign.
