Manchester United offered chance to sign Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sorloth

Manchester United have been offered the chance to sign Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sorloth as they seek to bolster their attack before the summer transfer window closes. Intermediaries have presented the 30-year-old Norway international to the club as a potential option, with the player reportedly open to a return to the Premier League. The offer comes as United manager Michael Carrick looks to add a proven center forward following the impending departure of Joshua Zirkzee. The Dutch striker is finalizing a season-long loan move to Italian side Fiorentina, which includes an option to buy next summer. United are also in the market for a left-back and have already completed the signing of midfielder Carlos Baleba from Brighton. Sorloth is viewed as a specialist number nine who could provide competition for Benjamin Sesko and offer a different tactical profile. The 6-foot-5 forward has enjoyed consistent success in Spain, scoring 44 goals in 107 appearances for Atletico Madrid since joining from Villarreal in 2024. Across his senior career, he has registered 175 goals in 475 matches.
