Manchester United considering deal for AC Milan forward Krzysztof Piatek as Marcus Rashford replacement |

Manchester United are on the lookout for a new forward, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer keen to land a temporary replacement for Marcus Rashford.

The Red Devils could be without Rashford for as much as three months, leaving them with just Mason Greenwood, Daniel James and Anthony Martial as senior forwards to call upon.

United had thought about landing PSG hitman Edinson Cavani but his preference is to move to Atletico Madrid instead.

And The Independent say Piatek is an option for Solskjaer as he plots a late signing before transfer deadline day. However, United would only want a loan deal.

And that wouldn’t suit the Poland international’s current club AC Milan. The Serie A giants only signed the 24-year-old from Genoa a year ago and he impressed with 11 goals from 21 games.

However, Milan have since brought Zlatan Ibrahimovic back to the club – instantly making him a talisman. Manager Stefano Pioli usually likes to play with one striker and Ibrahimovic currently has his backing.

And Milan want to get a fee for Piatek so they can spend it on reinforcements of their own. That could count against United – particularly with other clubs interested in the Poland international.

Chelsea are sniffing about with Frank Lampard eager to provide more intense competition or Tammy Abraham.

And Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho is also an admirer, having thought about signing Piatek when at United.
