In anticipation of a possible Liverpool approach for the budding star, Manchester United has begun to pursue Egyptian attacker Omar Marmoush, who is presently playing brilliantly for Eintracht Frankfurt.
According to The Sun, United recently dispatched scouts to monitor Marmoush, following a recommendation from Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, who reportedly urged his club to sign the talented 25-year-old.
According to the source, United's interest grew after Swedish attacker Viktor Gyökeres was valued at £83 million by Sporting Lisbon. Given financial limitations, Marmoush—which is estimated to be worth £50 million—rose to prominence as a more cost-effective yet extremely promising substitute.
Marmoush is playing incredibly well right now. The Egyptian player has scored in three straight games for Frankfurt, showing his great ability to score goals in both the German league and the Europa League.
United's move demonstrates Marmoush's increasing popularity, as his breakthrough season continues to garner interest throughout Europe.
