Man Utd and Paris Saint-Germain have made huge offers to sign Ademola Lookman from Serie A side Atalanta, according to reports.

The Red Devils made five signings during the summer transfer window as they looked to throw their full support behind Erik ten Hag after deciding to keep him over the summer.

Joshua Zirkzee, Manuel Ugarte, Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro and Noussair Mazraoui all joined before the end of the summer market, but they have yet to make the impact that the Man Utd hierarchy and fans were hoping for.

Ten Hag was sacked after winning just three of the Red Devils’ first nine Premier League matches, with Ruben Amorim replacing him a week ago.

Man Utd are currently 13th in the Premier League after interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy added four more points to his Premier League tally before leaving the club earlier this week.

Amorim will play a different formation to Ten Hag at Man Utd and there are fears he will not have the players needed to play that system straight away.

This could see the Red Devils enter the transfer market to try and give Amorim the tools necessary for Man Utd to challenge for Premier League titles in the long term, but top the table in the short term.

There have been reports that the Premier League club are interested in Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané, but rumors are now swirling in Spain that they have launched a bid for Atalanta’s Lookman.

It is understood that Man Utd and PSG “have submitted offers close to €100m (£84m) for the Nigerian winger, who has become one of Serie A’s sensations with Atalanta “.

Lookman would “fit perfectly into the plans” of new boss Amorim with his “versatility and ability to create danger in the opposition box making him a highly desirable addition”.

In a boost to Man Utd and PSG, Atalanta are ‘looking favorably at the sale’, with the Serie A side proving historically ‘skillful at handling the departure of key players’.

Amorim will certainly need help in the transfer market unless some of his current players change form and former Man City defender Richard Dunne believes Man Utd have been the failures of the season so far. ‘now.

Dunne said Play area: “It’s difficult to single out a single player as someone who has disappointed this season.

“If you look at a team it’s hard to look beyond Man United. They have underperformed compared to their expectations at the club.

“They gave Erik Ten Hag a new contract and expected bigger and brighter things, but there didn’t seem to be that investment from the players in what he was trying to do. They didn’t seem to not believe that Ten Hag remained.

“What he wanted to do didn’t inspire any of their players, so I think some of them said they were disappointed with what they did in the first half of the season and disappointed that it led to the dismissal of Ten Hag.

“By the end of the season, they have a new manager. They have more than 25 games left to play and prove themselves. Many of these players will be fighting for their future at Man United.

“For Man United to succeed, they need their best players to try, whoever the manager is. They have a lot to prove over the next seven or eight months.
