'I don't see it working' - Man Utd urged to avoid move for £32m Chelsea star
Manchester United have been urged to reconsider a move for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson as they look to provide Ruben Amorim with more attacking firepower. Matheus Cunha has already arrived from Wolves, and United are still hoping to bring in Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford as part of a new-look attack for Amorim next season. In addition, the Red Devils have been keen to add an out-and-out striker, particularly if Rasmus Hojlund were to leave the club. United explored a deal for Liam Delap before he chose to join Chelsea, while Viktor Gyokeres has only had eyes for Arsenal despite the chance to reunite with former boss Amorim. Ollie Watkins and Hugo Ekitike have been linked already this summer, but United are now reportedly one of several clubs considering a move for Chelsea striker Jackson.

The Senegal international, who joined from Villarreal for £32million two years ago, has notched up 24 goals and 10 assists in 65 Premier League appearances. However, the 24-year-old finds himself down the pecking order after the arrivals of Delap and Joao Pedro, and as such the Blues are willing to entertain offers. A deal for Jackson may not come from cheap with Chelsea in no need to sell, and former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour believes the deal may not be in United's interest. 'The problem you have is the lack of number nines and the price goes up,' he told talkSPORT. 'But with some of the strikers Man United have had over the years, I don't think he would get anywhere near the top category.' Alan Brazil, meanwhile, feared that Jackson's wasteful finishing in front of goal would not make him a good match for a United side who struggled greatly to create regular chances last season. 'He can't finish,' the former United striker said. 'Well he can finish but he needs a lot of chances to score. 'And I would say he'd get more chances but Chelsea are a better side than Man United so I don't see it working. You never know and I wish him well but I don't see it working.' More Trending Jackson endured a frustrating spell at the recent Club World Cup, failing to score in the United States and banned for two games after picking up a red card against Flamengo. And given the impressive cameos from Delap and Pedro, Alan Shearer reckons that the writing could be on the wall for Jackson at Stamford Bridge. 'That wouldn't surprise me if he was sold to someone, whether in our country or not, that's one that wouldn't surprise me if they made that decision,' he said on The Rest Is Football Podcast. 'They've got some serious options in every forward position.' For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
