Speculations arise around Aleksandar Mitrović's potential return to Europe, with Manchester United reportedly showing interest in the Al Hilal striker for the January transfer window.
Aleksandar Mitrović, who has been in incredible form for Al Hilal, might be making a sensational return to Europe. The Serbian striker, who signed for the Saudi Arabian club in a record-breaking transfer from Fulham last year, has been on fire, scoring 51 goals and providing nine assists in just as many games since joining.
Despite his success in Saudi Arabia, recent reports from the Mirror suggest that Mitrović could be on Manchester United's wishlist as they seek a solution for their ongoing striker dilemma. United has struggled to secure a consistent forward presence and are keen to bolster their attack in the January transfer window.
While Mitrović's contract with Al Hilal runs until 2026, and given the club’s immense financial power, it remains to be seen if they will easily let go of their top scorer. However, there is hope within United that the allure of a return to the Premier League might sway Mitrović himself to push for a move.
The Red Devils were previously linked with players like Victor Osimhen, Benjamin Šeško, and Ivan Toney, but none materialized during the summer. Now, Erik ten Hag is eyeing Mitrović as a potential solution to their striker problems.
With Newcastle and Fulham in his Premier League past, Mitrović is no stranger to English football, and it will be fascinating to see if this potential blockbuster move develops over the coming months.
