Transfer Rumours: Manchester United eyeing Vardy and Aubameyang

The
start
of
Erik
ten
Hag’s
tenure
as
manager
has
been
hugely
disappointing,
with
back-to-back
Premier
League
defeats.

Have
failed
to
land
major
off-season
transfer
targets,
United
are
desperate
to
bring
in
some
big
names,
reports
OPTA.

The
grapevine
is
that
United
are
considering
a
bid
for
Leicester
forward
Vardy
to
solve
their
striker
conundrum,
claims

The
Athletic.

The
Red
Devils
have
endured
a
frustrating
transfer
window
and
have
only
netted
once
in
their
opening
two
league
games.

Vardy
is
among
a
number
of
targets
United
are
keen
on,
having
also
been
linked
with
Barcelona’s
Aubameyang,
according
to

The
Sun.
